Chapter 032: Robbers
In the evening, the sun is no longer as dazzling as before, it has become much softer, and the clouds on the horizon have become colorful and different from the unique sunset in this evening.
The golden glow of the setting sun shone on the trees, all elongating their shadows, and reflecting each other, a carriage galloped from a distance along a large road in the middle of the forest.
A middle-aged man dressed as a servant in front of the carriage was brandishing a whip and scolding the two galloping horses in front of him, wishing that the horses could fly. The man looked left and right from time to time, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was obviously a sense of unease in his expression.
"It's not peaceful, what can it be? Is it possible...... Isn't it possible that there are also ancient spirit beasts here?" Zi Xiu said with some disdain.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, this road has never been peaceful" Yun Tian looked out of the window aimlessly, the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible arc, smiled helplessly, and replied as if talking to himself.
Zixiu took a look here, looked there, it had been a few hours since he left the Shen Mansion, and after the two chatted for a few words, they returned to a quiet state again, only the loud scolding of the coachman outside and the sound of horses' hooves. During this period, I also slept a few times in a daze.
"It's so boring to just sit like this......" Zixiu sighed and muttered on the side.
"By the way, Yuntian, let out your little winter melon and play for a while" Zixiu seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at Yuntian with two eyes and said.
"You said Xiao Kuiling, it came out just now when you were sleeping," Yun Tian replied lightly.
"What?!, why don't you wake me up?"
"I see that you sleep so soundly, I am not embarrassed to call you" Yun Tian replied with a wicked smile, thinking that he could finally be quiet for a while, if he woke you up, maybe something would happen. If any of the words don't go well and provoke this little kui ling, it will be troublesome.
"Then let it come out to play, it's nothing to do anyway, hehe..." Zixiu looked pitiful as if pleading.
"It's late, it's out......" Yun Tian said lightly with a 'regretful' expression.
"Going out?!Where have you been?" Zixiu showed a surprised expression, his eyes searched around the carriage, and then opened the curtain to look out, and said with questions.
"I've been out for a while, and I said that I had been sleeping for so long and wanted to go out for a walk"
"Where's the turn?"
Yun Tian spread his hands, with an expression of 'I know where to go'. Just as the two were chatting, they suddenly felt as if the carriage had slowed down.
"Brother Li, are you going to stop?" Zixiu curiously pulled the curtain.
"That's right, we won't be able to get out of this forest tonight, let's find a place to rest later" Lao Li's rough voice came from outside the car.
By this time, the sun had set, and the vision had begun to blur, and the endless night had arrived. Lao Li tied the horse, found some firewood to make a fire, and several people sat around the bonfire, eating the food brought in the Shen Mansion.
"Brother Li, what you said earlier is not peaceful here...... What does that mean?" Zixiu took a few more bites of the sauced beef, squeezing out a few words in his oily mouth.
"There are robbers" Lao Li cooed and drank a few large mouthfuls of water, and said lightly without picking his eyelids.
"What?bandit?!This is not far from the town, and it is not a place with barren mountains and mountains, how can there be robbers?" Yun Tian asked with some puzzlement.
"That being said, but the geographical location here is relatively special, in front of us is the place we have to pass through is called Iron and Stone City, next to it less than a hundred miles away is Baiye Town, behind is Yunxia Town when we came, and on the right is the deep mountains and old forests. At first, these towns also sent troops to suppress them, but it was useless, and the robbers fled to the depths of the woods as soon as they saw that there were officers and soldiers, and played a game of cat and mouse.
"So that's the case......" Zixiu was a little stunned when he heard this, unconsciously lowered his voice, and looked around vigilantly.
"But don't worry too much, just a few of us, we don't have much luggage, and the robbers may not look down on us."
"Two little masters, let's rest early after eating, and I'll be in a hurry tomorrow" Lao Li threw a few more pieces of wood into the fire as he spoke, and leaned against the tree to sleep.
Yuntian and the two nodded, and after listening to what Lao Li said, they naturally lost their appetite, and after a few simple bites, the two got together and leaned against a big tree to rest.
By this time, the night had completely eroded the earth, and the light of the fire made it even darker. An inexplicable sense of tension came over the endless night.
Lao Li's words always lingered in his ears, and there was no trace of sleepiness at all, Zixiu's eyes were wide open, and he looked around.
On the other hand, Yuntian didn't seem to be affected by the 'robber said' just now, as if he had something on his mind, staring at Haoyue above his head in a daze with an expressionless face.
"Hey Yuntian, you said there wouldn't really be a robber, right?" Zi Xiu lowered his voice, and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Haha...... Young Master Nanda is not even afraid of the ancient beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, but he is afraid of a few robbers with mortal bodies" Yun Tian unconsciously laughed softly and said jokingly.
"Gee, when are you still kidding...... I...... I didn't say I was afraid. By the way, did your little winter melon come back, how long has it been out, and it won't be caught and cooked by robbers."
"Oh, don't be poor, hurry up and sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow" Yun Tian's brows tightened, and he came back with a little impatience. Zixiu didn't say anything, gave Yun Tian a roll of his eyes, then turned his head and went to sleep. In less than a cup of tea, Zixiu's sleeping snoring could be clearly heard.
Yuntian stared at the bright moon among the trees with gloomy eyes and did not move, looking out of his mind. It's been a few days since I left home, and I don't know how my father is now, and I can't help but feel a wisp of longing in my heart, and the past is vivid......
I don't know how long later, a ray of red light moved towards the fire like a fish in the water. In just a moment, he arrived at Yun Tian's side, and after Kui Ling appeared, he saw that his master seemed to have not noticed him, and he was still looking at the sky in a daze.
"Host, host...... What do you want?" Kui Ling gently shook Yuntian's arm and whispered in some confusion.
"Ah~ It's nothing, you're back" Yun Tian seemed to have just woken up from a dream, a little incoherent.
"How is it? What do you see?" Yun Tian took a deep breath, changed his sitting posture again, and asked casually.
"It's not much fun, it doesn't change much before I go to bed......" Xiao Kuiling said with a sigh as if he was a little disappointed.
"By the way, what do you think I found in the smoky forest over there?!" Xiao Kuiling thought that he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly became interested.
"What can be there?" Yun Tian didn't think much about it, what could a little thing that hadn't come out for a thousand years find, and it was estimated that he would be curious when he saw a dog.
"It's human"
"People, what's so strange about people" Yun Tian's face was full of disdain, thinking that this little thing really hadn't seen anything in the world, and it was older than me.
"Isn't it?!!How can there be people living there, could it be ......" Yun Tian thought about it, as if he felt that something was wrong, there were few people in this deep mountain and old forest, not to mention the maze of smoky forests, not to mention people, generally even animals would not go.
"I was curious at first, I first saw a fire, and then I was curious to go over and take a look, and it turned out that there was a stockade there, and there were quite a few people, all of them fierce-looking......" Kui Ling said everything he saw.
"It turns out that there are really robbers!" Yun Tian muttered to himself.
"Yes, it's a robber, how does the master know," Xiao Kuiling said as if he was a little surprised.
"No matter how far away those robbers are, we won't be in danger," Yun Tian suddenly became alert.
"Don't worry, it's still far away, I've already used it, and a few people who look like leaders are talking about something, as if they are saying that there will be a group of people passing through this road tomorrow, as if they are going to rob or something......"
"What? Then we have to save them" Yun Tian heard this, this gang of robbers seemed to have a target, and the hideous faces of the robbers in his mind, the scene of knives falling in their hands...... In a flash.
If you don't know, forget it, now that you know, you can't just watch the robbers succeed like this, maybe there will be a life, Yun Tian struggled in his heart.
"How to save it?" asked Xiao Kuiling with some puzzlement.
"Although we can't confront them head-on, we can inform them in advance, didn't you just say that they are also on this path"
"Okay, the master has the final say," Xiao Kuiling also muttered helplessly.
"Okay, come in, you have to get up early tomorrow to recuperate" Yun Tian gestured to the Yun Tian Stone on his chest, and Xiao Kui Ling dodged into the Yun Tian Stone. There was silence all around them again, and the flames were much dimmer than before. The clouds gradually fell into a deep sleep.
......
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight hit Yuntian and several people through the branches.
Yuntian got up early, woke up Zixiu and Lao Li one after another, and told Zixiu what Kui Ling said last night, because in front of Lao Li, he didn't say anything in too much detail. Yuntian gave Zi Xiu a look, and although Zi Xiu was a little reluctant, he still responded.
"Young master, it's only a few days before the end of registration, we still have a lot of ways to go, but we can't make branches outside the festival......" Lao Li heard that he was going to meddle in things, and immediately began to preach with emotion.
"Ah...... Ah I know, it's okay, we'll be back soon, promise not to delay the trip."
"Just... Only...... In this way, you wait here, and we will come to Ha ...... when we go" Zixiu spoke, pulled up Yuntian and walked briskly to the side, not giving Lao Li a chance to speak at all, Lao Li just wanted to say something, but the two of them had already gone away.
"I said Yuntian, what is this called, how can we still have time to meddle in things, if we delay the registration, then we don't have to go home" Zixiu complained as he walked.
After a while, they came to the road where they came. The two of them looked around, and then hid under a large stump, waiting for the unlucky pair to come.
"Yuntian, isn't this it, in case that gang of robbers ambushes in front of us, then it's not in vain to wait here" Zixiu said in a low voice.
"No, I know where their ambush is, in the densest part of the forest in front, there is still some distance away," said Xiao Kui Ling in the Yuntian Stone.
"It should be right here, just be patient and wait" Yun Tian calmed Zi Xiu while looking around.
After a while, there was still no movement around, "They can't come or not, can't it be that you little thing is mistaken......"
"Shhhh......h A team of dozens of people walked over slowly, unhurriedly.
The group walked slowly towards this direction, about twenty people, each on horseback, and in the middle of them was a carriage. Although this team of people is dressed as a business traveler, it can be seen from their mental state and strong aura that this is by no means an ordinary business travel team.
"It's almost here, what should we do Yuntian" Zixiu began to become nervous on the side, urging in a low voice.
"Of course I'm going to remind them" Yun Tian took a deep breath, settled his mind, and rushed out with an arrow step.
"No, there is something wrong with this team...... "At the moment when Yun Tian rushed out, Xiao Kui Ling in Yun Tian Shi suddenly seemed to feel something, and said in a shocked tone, but it was too late, Yun Tian had already come to the middle of the road, completely exposed to their field of vision.
