Chapter 196: Good Friends

After about half a day of running, I realized that my destination was almost time to arrive. The town of Gunma should be a short distance away, just a few hours away. Shen Mengting immediately decided to stop the horse and continued at a slower pace.

"It's coming. "When the horse's speed slows down, the feeling of stride under the butt is no longer strong. Shen Mengting took out the map and began to observe it carefully.

She found the exact location of Gunma Town on the map, and quickly compared where she was. After confirming that it was only a little way away, she pulled the horse to a complete stop with peace of mind.

"Good work, Nasa!" Shen Mengting touched the horse's head with concern.

Since Zhao Yu was still sitting in front, he felt a little disobedient after realizing that an arm was stretched out from the back. His body was a little dazed, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen also stopped the horses they were riding.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Jingwen asked first.

"It's almost there!" Shen Mengting looked sharply in front of her, "Gunma Town!"

"Really?" Jiang Jingwen grabbed the reins of her horse and brought the horse close to Shen Mengting.

Then, the two horses were parallel.

"Yes, just walk through the woods!"

"That's great!"

"Is Gunma Town about to arrive?" Qian Hao pulled the horse and slowly approached Shen Mengting.

However, Qian Hao's injuries seem to be affecting him all the time, causing his sitting posture on horseback to be extremely irregular. Even earlier, he felt as if he was going to fall.

"It's almost there!"

"So, Sister Mengting, let's hurry up and go!" As she spoke, Jiang Jingwen was about to whip the horse again.

"No! don't be in a hurry! Anyway, it's coming soon, so let's slow down and go slowly!" Shen Mengting couldn't help but twist her head towards Qian Hao when she said this.

The first person to find out that Qian Hao was a little struggling was Shen Mengting. In the past, no matter how long he had been on the road, this archer would never show any tiredness. But now, he seems to be drowsy, and it seems that he still hasn't recovered from his injuries.

Therefore, Shen Mengting immediately decided to slow down, anyway, there is almost no difference between arriving in the morning and entering in the afternoon.

"Yes, this is a good proposal! I agree!" Qian Hao freed up a hand, and he made a gesture of his index finger facing the sky.

However, with only one hand controlling the reins, he almost fell off the horse after it shook violently. Fortunately, his reaction has always been very fast, and he quickly regained his hands on the reins, and he was able to stabilize his body.

"You better control your horses with peace of mind!" Shen Mengting sneered when she saw this.

If it were usual, Qian Hao would definitely refute it with a 'hippie smile'. But at the moment, he really doesn't have the physical strength to do anything else. Ordinary riding a horse makes it a little difficult for him, not to mention spending some effort to pull something out.

After a little more adjustment, the three horses moved at a steady pace in the direction of Gunma Town.

The sound of horses' hooves 'clattering' was accompanied by his ears, and Zhao Yu's sitting posture was also a little irregular. He looked here from time to time, and then took advantage of the gap to capture the scene behind him with his peripheral vision.

Shen Mengting sat behind him, and the bodies of the two would even collide.

Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed, probably a few days ago, he had this emotion again. The horse's reins were pulled at either side of him like a guardrail. The rear was pulled by Shen Mengting.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, so restless?" Shen Mengting should have discovered Zhao Yu's law field, so she asked directly.

Zhao Yu hurriedly shook his head: "Ahhh

"I think he's too excited! I'm going to a town hotel to stay overnight!" Qian Hao bent two eyebrows next to him, and one of his fingers pointed at Zhao Yu playfully.

However, Zhao Yu didn't respond, but what he was waiting for was Shen Mengting's angry white eyes.

"Qian Hao, I think you better take care of yourself! You don't need to worry about this kid's affairs!"

"Wow! You say this too ugly! Zhao Yu is also my teammate! How can I ignore him!" Laughing and spreading his hands, Qian Hao didn't forget to snuggle his chin at Jiang Jingwen.

Qian Hao's purpose in doing this was to get Jiang Jingwen's support, but Jiang Jingwen just lowered her head and accompanied a small gesture, so she didn't make any moves.

"It's good that you take care of yourself!" Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth. She looked Qian Hao up and down again, "That's right! Your injuries are better! Don't fall off the horse before you reach Gunma Town!"

When Qian Hao heard this, he straightened his waist instantly, "What...... What? You said I was going to fall off the horse? Ah! You look down on me too much, can you hurt me with such a small injury?" he twisted his body deliberately.

However, just when the range of action was at its maximum, he was stiffened because of the sharp pain in his abdomen.

"Look! that's it!" Shen Mengting showed a look of disdain when she saw this.

Qian Hao was still 'slapping his swollen face and becoming fat', and he tried his best to straighten his body again, making it look like he was not affected by the injury at all. However, even Zhao Yu could see that Qian Hao's state was very bad, and sometimes he couldn't even grasp the reins of the horse.

"Who said my injuries weren't heal......ed! I tell you...... I'm fine now!No injuries can bother me, a genius archer!" Qian Hao's body instantly fell back.

However, when a breeze swept by, he almost came to his back on his horse.

Shen Mengting couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this, she didn't bother to continue arguing with Qian Hao, so she focused on driving a horse.

It just so happened that they came to the woods, and Shen Mengting knew very well that as long as they passed through this woodland, they could reach Gunma Town.

After walking in the woods for a short while, Shen Mengting carefully observed the surroundings. For some reason, she still felt a little relieved in her heart. At first, she didn't understand where this sense of stability came from. But now, she seems to have found a clue.

She now has a few very reliable companions, although many of them have such an uncompetitive model as Zhao Yu, but Shen Mengting feels that these people are very trustworthy.

Once upon a time, Shen Mengting was so lonely galloping on this land, but now, she has a few companions to accompany her. Moreover, Qian Hao and Jiang Jingwen are more reasonable representatives of the younger generation.

That's it! Shen Mengting breathed a long sigh of relief, she was relieved to have three companions by her side. Although, there should have been four more people.

Somehow, Shen Mengting thought of the assassin Chen Tianhao again. This young assassin could have been her right-hand man, and Chen Tianhao's strength was not inferior to Qian Hao's at all. However, certain factors caused the Assassin to leave the team!

It's really a pity! Shen Mengting's movements changed from relieved to long sighs.

After losing Chen Tianhao, it is estimated that she will not even be able to meet him again! Shen Mengting's head was raised slightly, she looked at the vast sky, thinking that in such a huge world, it was really not easy to deliberately meet someone.

"Sister Mengting, what's wrong?" While thinking about it, Jiang Jingwen's question came from the right.

Shen Mengting quickly came back to her senses, she quickly lowered her head, and made a slight swing movement, "It's nothing!"

"Ahh

"It's really nothing!" Shen Mengting increased her volume, "I'm just thinking about it......" seemed to be hesitating, and she became a little speechless.

Zhao Yu noticed this, and slowly turned his head back.

Shen Mengting's face was filled with a sense of unease, although the two thick silkworm eyebrows had not yet reached the point of tightening, they always made people feel a sense of urgency.

"Sister Mengting......"

When Jiang Jingwen screamed again, Shen Mengting quickly stretched her eyebrows as if she were disguised, "Ahhh

It should be that she didn't want others to notice her face anymore, so Shen Mengting sped up the speed of the horse slightly.

Qian Hao is also a little 'self-protecting' at present, and there is already a faint pain in his subribal bones. He knew that the injury was estimated to take ten and a half days of recuperation before he could fully recover.

Shen Mengting rode forward, in order not to let herself be cranky, she wanted to use something else to divert her.

But what is the matter? Shen Mengting lowered her eyebrows and began to meditate indiscriminately.

At this time, she suddenly thought of something. Glancing her eyes slightly to the left, that is, where Qian Hao was, Shen Mengting suddenly recalled the scene when she chose 'Gunma Town'.

I remember that the person who first said the words 'Gunma Town' was not Shen Mengting herself, but ......

Shen Mengting twisted her head towards Qian Hao, who was diagonally behind, but this action made Qian Hao shrink his body suddenly.

A question appeared on Qian Hao's face.

"Qian Hao, let me ask you a question!" Shen Mengting's eyes seemed to be narrowing, she had a great idea of wanting to see through Qian Hao's heart, "Remember ......" After a little hesitation, she still let out the question, "Remember that you were the first to propose to go to 'Gunma Town', right?"

Qian Hao seemed to have a 'grunt' look, and he blinked his eyes a little confused.

In this way, the doubts in Shen Mengting's heart were even worse. And Jiang Jingwen next to her also seemed to be aware of the clues, and slowly leaned her face to the left.

"Ahh......h

Shen Mengting couldn't help lowering her head slightly, she deliberately rolled her eyes to look at Qian Hao, "So...... Why did you choose Gunma Town, which is so unassumingly a town with so many small towns around?"

Qian Hao was asked if he was coughing repeatedly, he seemed to be hiding something, and kept putting his clenched fist hand to his mouth.

"Hey, Qian Hao!" Shen Mengting lowered her head, and her way of looking and touching gradually changed to staring, "You shouldn't have something to hide from me!"

Qian Hao coughed again, and he looked a little flustered.

"Qian Hao!"

"Oh yes! What are you doing! Don't always feel like you're going to eat people, okay! You're too unfeminine!" Qian Hao waved his hand quickly.

"So...... Are you really hiding something from me?" Shen Mengting had already raised her head this time. However, her gaze became sharper.

"Sister Mengting......"

"Jingwen, don't speak!!" Shen Mengting scolded loudly.

Jiang Jingwen obediently closed her mouth, and with sympathetic eyes, she looked at Qian Hao, who had collapsed.

"Hey, you don't want to look like this, okay! Everyone has a little secret in their hearts!" Qian Hao looked away from Shen Mengting, and he chose to twist his head away.

"Then what's your little secret?" Shen Mengting directly waved the reins of the horse, and 'Nasa' ran quickly obediently.

Because of the rapid shaking of the horse he was riding, Zhao Yu almost fell off the horse unbalanced. Although he still grabbed the horse's neck afterwards to resolve the crisis. However, the frequent shaking of the horse's back still made him a little uncomfortable.

'Nasa' took a quick step directly and came to the front of Qian Hao. In this way, Qian Hao was stunned and blocked by a horse.

"What are you doing!" Qian Hao raised his hands as if he were quickly surrendering, "Do you need to exaggerate like that?"

"Say, Qian Hao, what is the purpose of you deliberately guiding us to Gunma Town?"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'deliberately guided'! You use this word as if I have some bad intentions!"

"Then why did you go to Gunma Town?"

"Ahh

"Hey, don't pretend to me!"

Qian Hao sighed bitterly, "Oh! I'm really scared of you! You woman......" After a few sighs, he leaned his body completely against the horse's back.

"Sister Mengting, don't force him anymore, he really has a very serious injury!"

With Jiang Jingwen's dissuasion, Shen Mengting recalled the scene of Qian Hao's assassination. So, her tone softened. I saw that she was about to sigh, and her shoulders were slowly drooping.

"Qian Hao! I don't doubt you anything! But if you really have something, you can tell it safely, why hide it like this!"

When Qian Hao heard this, his body suddenly straightened. Still, his expression was a little tight, "Okay! I'll tell you the truth!" he paused, his body sinking rapidly, "I have a good friend in Gunma Town, and he works as an instructor at the Swordsman Proving Ground there. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I'm going to pay him a visit!

Casually saying this, Qian Hao's arms waved wildly.

"Oh, good friend?" Shen Mengting was a little suspicious when she heard this, her head was tilting, and her eyes were facing the upper right side.

"That's true, didn't you say you wanted to find a place to rest?" Qian Hao muttered, "so I happened to think of Gunma Town, which is not far from here." That's true!" He looked a little aggrieved, "Since you want to find a town to spend the night, then it's not a big deal to go to Gunma Town!

Qian Hao said everything in his heart with a grunt, but Shen Mengting did not respond for a long time.

Seeing this, Qian Hao gave up as if he had just given up, and directly threw the reins of the horse in his hand to the side, "Okay! What else do you not trust? Since I met you until now, I don't know how many times I have been born and died with you." Why is it that you are still suspicious?"

When Qian Hao's words were finished, everything in the woods fell silent, and no new voices appeared, making the atmosphere of the woods a sense of dead silence.

Qian Hao stared at Shen Mengting directly, and he had a very speechless feeling, which was dotted on his square face.

Shen Mengting thought for a long time, and finally opened her mouth, "Qian Hao, why are you so excited? Did I say I didn't trust you?"

"Then what you said before, didn't you think I was hiding something from you?"

"Just because you think you're hiding something from us doesn't mean you don't trust us. On the contrary, it is a sign that I trust you. Shen Mengting's mouth was moving in a tight and orderly manner, "Just imagine, if I don't trust you, I won't listen to your opinion at all, let alone question it!"

"Heh!

"Sister Mengting means to say: 'It's because I trust you that I will question and talk to you'. If Sister Mengting didn't trust the individual, she wouldn't even pay attention to that person!" Jiang Jingwen added beside her.

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was also in a reverie. He tried hard to think about his contact with Shen Mengting, whether it was really as others said, only if you won the trust of this woman, she would come to question you.

Qian Hao seemed to have feelings, he stared at Shen Mengting, and felt flattered. However, it looked like a clumsy acting, and even had a sense of irony, "Really, then I'm really honored! I can make Miss Shen Mengting question!" His mouth was rounded, and he exhaled deeply from time to time.

"Qian Hao, believe it or not, in short, I don't want to suspect you of anything! Okay, don't say anything more about this question!" Shen Mengting straightened her posture sitting on horseback, "Tell me about that friend of yours in Gunma Town!"

Hearing that he was about to talk about his friend, Qian Hao instantly made a gesture of lifting his ears. He seemed to be waiting for Shen Mengting to ask, and in the next second, he also responded one by one as if he was ready.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Shen Mengting raised her head, "I've never heard you mention that you have friends in Gunma Town!"

"You haven't asked me about this!" Qian Hao spat out of thin air to the side, "Talk about it again, I have a lot of friends." It's not just Gunma Town, it's other towns, so how could I introduce them to you one by one!"

After Shen Mengting heard this, she roughly entered a thinking stage. The others were silent for a long time. It took about dozens of seconds before Shen Mengting looked at Qian Hao.

"So...... Who is this good friend of yours? Tell me about it!"
