Chapter 365: Maze
Thousands of people lined up neatly and walked out of the palace, Lin Nan, Xia Yi, and two foreigners were sitting in the sedan chair, while the demon emperor and the ten walking corpses were guarding Lin Nan's side, because so many people went out of the palace and Lin Nan was the prince again, it was very eye-catching, and I was afraid that some lawbreakers wanted to rob it, so the demon emperor and ten walking corpses were on both sides of Lin Nan's sedan chair to show protection.

Out of the imperial city, Lin Nan sat in the sedan chair, his heart was very excited, eleven years, Lin Nan has waited for so long, and he can finally spread his wings and fly high, it is really cool, and from this second on, Lin Nan's life will be completely changed, because Lin Nan is about to soar the world.
Lin Nan has now been far out of the palace, and has been away from the imperial city for several hours, Lin Nan looked back at the outside of the sedan chair, it was really beautiful like spring, the green shade outside, and the breath of nature came to his face, which made Lin Nan feel a lot more comfortable. looked at the row of people and horses who were in the long line, and a strong sense of accomplishment suddenly appeared in my heart, and the more than 800 Ouchi guards who followed Lin Nan were Lin Nan's subordinates, if they were in the modern plane, they would find so many people to be their subordinates at one time, and they would be even better than those underground gangsters, and Lin Nan's people were all super masters of martial arts, and they were incomparable to those underworld elements who could only fight with knives and guns in the modern plane, not only that, but Lin Nan also had ten undead zombies guarding Lin Nan, in addition to these people, there were more than 100 boatmen in order to drive the ship, and if it was really in the modern plane, it would be against the sky。
Lin Nan never thought that he would have so many opportunities before he got the Divine Ring, Lin Nan's life really has the difference between heaven and earth, the difference between civilians and emperors after getting the Divine Ring, every time Lin Nan thinks of the comfortable life he is living now, he will sigh with emotion, and Lin Nan is really getting more and more excited.
Out of the imperial city, everyone is going directly to the south, as long as you go straight in this direction, you will pass through three cities and then go to Lanxian County, which is near the sea, these three cities are cities, in fact, compared with the capital like the countryside, if you use the modern plane to say that the capital is a city, then the three cities that are about to pass through are town-level, not even the district level, but think how rotten those three places are.
Everyone has been out of the palace for five hours now, and has passed through a small town called Turtle Town, this town is very normal except for the strange name, everyone only rested there for a while, ate some local suppression snacks, chives and quiches, and then set off again.
But as soon as he talked about the egg cake, Lin Nan wanted to vomit, it was really unpalatable, or it could be that Lin Nan had been enjoying the imperial kitchen food in the palace for a long time, and the taste became tight, and he was not used to eating those coarse grains, but from now on Lin Nan will have to struggle outside the palace, so he will definitely eat a lot of food made of this kind of coarse grains in the future, like steamed buns or something, so Lin Nan has to adapt to the life of the people.
However, Lin Nan was okay, at least he swallowed the egg cake, but the three emperor brothers and the two foreigners were miserable, and they vomited out after eating a bite, which was really a waste of the blood and sweat of the working people.
Lin Nan disdainfully compared the middle finger to the three people, and then sat on the sedan chair, waved his hand forward, and the large team of nearly 1,000 people made a mighty trip under Lin Nan's order, not to mention how majestic this posture was, the people on both sides of the surrounding area saw that everyone was so prominent, and retreated to the corner, secretly looking lively, it is estimated that they may never have such a large group of soldiers passing by in a small town like them, so the faces of those people are all written with the word novelty.
People are this thing, just don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, you have to see the world more, only to know that the world is so wonderful, Lin Nan passed through Turtle Town this time and taught those people a lesson, let them see what is called majestic and mighty. It is estimated that after the big group of people left, their teahouse and other places will usher in the small talk of Mr. Storyteller, these small people in the well city usually do not have many hobbies, this era is not like the modern plane, you can play game consoles, surf the Internet, K songs, jump, play mahjong, they usually in addition to work The only entertainment program is to hear that Mr. Storyteller Hu spray, people, can make themselves happy will be a lot of people to go, that is entertainment.
Because Lin Nan and the Demon Emperor went to the shipyard to accept the shipwright this morning and delayed for half a day, it was already afternoon when everyone set off, and now it has been another five hours, and it took some time for everyone to eat some egg cakes in this town, so after everyone left the town, the sky had begun to darken.
Originally, it stands to reason that it was already about five or six o'clock when I left the town, and now it is winter, and it will be early and late, and the sky is already a little dark at that time, Lin Nan originally wanted people to rest in this town for a night before setting off, but I inquired from the boss of the egg cake, this town is too small, and there is only one hostel, if Lin Nan lets nearly a thousand people sleep on the side of the street, it is nothing, but I am afraid that those people will even be blocked by the path.
Just kidding, in such a small town, the streets are so wide that as soon as everyone stops, they basically block all the traffic on the road.
And these people will follow Lin Nan for a lot of days, if there are conditions, Lin Nan still wants to let them live in the store, and they will be loyal to their subordinates.
But this town can't live, and it may not be able to live out of the town, but the boss told Lin Nan that after walking thirty miles out of the town, he will see a large area of housing supply station, which is a post station specially reserved for pedestrians, with a large territory, many houses, and the most important thing is that those houses are all hotels, and I heard the boss say that there are almost thirty of them, and it is estimated that everyone will be able to live.
Thirty miles is nothing, and the more than 1,000 people who have walked these two days will not exhaust a single person, because their legs are accustomed to this kind of walking.
Now that the sky is getting darker and darker, Lin Nan put aside the curtain on the side of the sedan car and looked at the sky, the stars have been dotted on it, and the bright moon is hanging high in the sky like a silver moon, needless to say, it is already night, and it is estimated that it has reached about seven or eight o'clock.
Lin Nan looked ahead again, because Lin Nan's troops were specially equipped with torches, so the road ahead was not very dark, Lin Nan looked around the sedan chair, a circle was full of walking corpses, Lin Nan rolled his eyes, although these ten zombies have high martial arts, but they can't find one to chat, Lin Nan looked over the shoulders of the walking corpses in front of him, and shouted to the demon emperor who led the team, he immediately slowed down, hurriedly retreated to Lin Nan's sedan window, looked around in his eyes, and asked very alertly: "What's wrong, master, is there anything wrong?" It was not unreasonable for him to ask this, on such a deserted road, a large group of people walked by, and it was night, it was inevitable that there would be robbers or something in such a remote place, so as soon as he saw Lin Nan calling him, he would wonder if Lin Nan had discovered something strange.
When Lin Nan heard this, he smiled slightly, relaxing his nerves with his eyes, Lin Nan said lightly: "It's been more than an hour since we left Turtle Town, why haven't we seen the house that the boss of the egg cake said, you send someone to the front to investigate." ”
When the Demon Emperor heard that Lin Nan was asking about this, he was relieved in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Nan and said, "Back to the master, my subordinates have already ordered someone to explore the way, but they have not returned." "The Demon Emperor is really an old man, these things are actually the most basic marching essentials, and it is normal for people to send people to explore the way, but why have the people he sent not come back, are those houses still far away from everyone? If that's the case, Lin Nan will faint to death, although there are many people, the speed of walking will be slower than walking alone, but according to the speed of everyone walking for only thirty miles, everyone has walked for more than an hour, that is, two hours, even if they don't go, it's not far away, Lin Nan read this, couldn't help but look at the Demon Emperor again, and asked unconsciously: "How long have you sent someone?"
When the Demon Emperor heard this, he thought sideways for a moment, and then replied: "I sent three groups of people to explore the way, the first batch went for nearly half an hour, the second batch also had a stick of incense, and the third group I sent a moment ago, I ordered them to use fireworks to report as soon as they found those houses, but I have been there for so long and there has been no response, I am also wondering about this." ”
Although there is no walkie-talkie, no mobile phone, no telephone, and no telegram in this era, the speed of fireworks communication is also very fast, but the group of scouts went for an hour without replying, and they were really a little depressed, Lin Nan was thinking about it, and suddenly a guard strode forward, Lin Nan looked at his badge, a team captain written on it, because this trip out of the palace was very far, in order to facilitate the management of so many subordinates, so Lin Nan divided them into several teams, a team of one hundred people, divided into eight teams, and each team has a captain and a deputy captain, which is convenient for managing their subordinates, because these subordinates are not whole numbers。 There are a total of eight hundred and thirty-seven people, so in addition to the eight teams of this whole number, the other thirty-seven people Lin Nan is under the management of the Demon Emperor, who is responsible for exploring the path and running errands, anyway, it is used for miscellaneous purposes.
But despite this, the martial arts of these more than 800 people are all comparable, there is no distinction between high and low, but the division of labor is different. The first team is the front of the team, the leader of the whole line, and the next team is the second team, the third team, and so on, and at the end of the team is the eighth team.
And the more than 100 boatmen were divided into the middle of the team by Lin Nan, and there were four teams in front and behind to protect them, so they were quite safe in the middle.
And the candidates for the captain and vice captain of the eight teams were also recommended by themselves, and their martial arts and leadership skills were very popular in the team, so Lin Nan was relieved to hand over the team to them.
Lin Nan looked at the panicked captain of the team, and for some reason he had a hint of foreboding, before Lin Nan could speak, he quickly came to the side of the Demon Emperor, hugged Lin Nan, and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have something urgent to report." ”
Seeing them like that, he knew that it was not a good thing, Lin Nan frowned slightly, waved his hand at him and asked, "Don't want mother-in-law, just say something quickly." As soon as he heard Lin Nan ask, his face became a little solemn, "Back to Your Highness, half an hour ago, my subordinates felt that this mountain road was strange, so they made some marks on the ground and among the rocks, but I didn't expect that just now we returned to the place we arrived at a moment ago, that is, we were going in circles, as if we had fallen into some maze and couldn't get out." ”
As soon as he finished. Lin Nan and the Demon Emperor glanced at each other with their eyes at the same time, Lin Nan found that the Demon Emperor's eyes also began to be a little solemn, Lin Nan wondered why the people sent out had not heard back for so long, and it was estimated that they had also fallen into this maze and couldn't get out.
"I see, you go to the front first and let the troops stop first, and then plan later. Lin Nan waved his hand to the captain of the first team, signaling him to stop the team from continuing to move forward, the responsibility of the first team in addition to playing the role of vanguard protection at the front, but also to convey the order to prohibit the team from advancing in front, this is specially arranged by Lin Nan, because of the large number of people, if Lin Nan just shouted in the sedan chair to stop, it is estimated that the people in front and behind will not hear Lin Nan's order, so Lin Nan handed over the command of this order to a team, they have a huge flag in their hands, as long as they shake it, the whole team can see it, and it will stop immediately。
As soon as Lin Nan gave the order, the captain of the team immediately ran to the front, looking at his back, Lin Nan said to the Demon Emperor: "Do you think this is artificial?" The Demon Emperor thought for a while, and replied: " We've been walking for so long, if it weren't for the captain of the team who reminded me that even I didn't realize that we were going around in circles, if the natural terrain had been heard of, the peculiarity of this place would have been heard, but I had never heard that there would be a maze here, so my subordinates thought that someone must be trying to trap us here, and this person might be near us. ”
The rivers and lakes are really sinister, as soon as the Demon Emperor said this, Lin Nan felt a trace of excitement in his heart, he really didn't expect that Lin Nan would encounter an ambush by the people in the rivers and lakes for the first time when he officially left the palace, and he also used the terrain psychedelic array on Lin Nan, which was really interesting.
Lin Nan licked the corners of his mouth, and secretly used his internal force to search for the strange aura in the surrounding radius, but to no avail, Lin Nan looked at the Demon Emperor after finishing his work, he now had a condensed expression, closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to be searching with his heart, but after he opened his eyes, he glanced at Lin Nan, and shook his head, it seems that he didn't find a strange breath either.
This is really strange, Lin Nan had heard of this kind of artificial psychedelic array before, and the envoy had to be around the formation, but there were no living people within a radius of several miles, it seemed that this envoy was a master.
Not only that, but the breath of the three groups of scouts sent out by the Demon Emperor can't be found, it seems that they may no longer be alive, it's a pity, but since the envoys are not around, it's really a bit tricky, but Lin Nan is not panicked, after all, with his own cultivation and so many people under him, if he wants to eat himself, I'm afraid that no one in the world can do it.
