After a night's rest, except for a little fever in the middle of the night, Heywood recovered well, but Kevin, who slept until he was called up halfway and took care of the injured, was not in a good mood.

The group continued to move forward, and they didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way. However, due to the wounded on his back, the speed of the journey, which was not fast, slowed down completely, and it was almost close to the evening before he barely arrived at the post station.

There is a huge fire camp in the middle of the station, hence the name Burning Wood Station. It is said to be a post station, but it is actually just a small station with only a few shops, and the inn is also a small bungalow made of stone bricks. Some of the mercenaries who settled here took the opportunity to earn some extra money, spread a blanket on the ground and put the collected materials on it, and exchanged useful items with others.

Because they went late, the few rooms in the hotel were already booked. Many were unable to stay in hotels and set up campfires. There are guards stationed near the door, so there is a guarantee of safety.

Du Yuhan summed it up, remembered Patton's repeated instructions before leaving, and decided to set up camp far away from the campfire. It is not only the protection area of the post station, which can prevent the night attack of the outer monsters, but also a certain distance from the stationing place of the guards, so you can take precautions if something happens.

Let the reluctant Kevin stay and take care of the patient, Du Yuhan went around to inquire about the news. However, there was no big family station in this small post station, but he heard that there was a small town more than ten days away from here, and there were relatively many resources in it. And there are horse-drawn carriage routes, which can be reached in about three or four days by horse-drawn carriage, and it only costs a small fee.

Rejecting the enthusiastic shopkeeper's offer to help order a car, Du Yuhan fetched some water from a nearby well and went back to his tent to rest.

The night was dark and dreary, as if the boundless thick ink was heavily smeared on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

The earth fell into infinite silence, and the bonfires lit up all around it were extinguished, and the figures were outstanding. The occasional night breeze rustled through the leaves, muffling the footsteps running on the gravel.

Suddenly, the sound of the wind stopped, and near a yellow-brown hood not far away, more than a dozen pitch-black figures appeared, surrounding it. Everyone held their breath and waited for the moment to attack.

Soon, the night breeze blew, and the rustling of leaves was heard all around.

Now is the time!

The man at the head made an offensive gesture, and several men in black swooped into the tent, raising daggers and stabbing the bulging sheets.

"Pss But at the moment of attack, the assassin felt that the hand was not right, and violently lifted the futon.

The cotton wool feathers fluttered around, obscuring everyone's view, and when the mess of cotton hit the ground, they found that the bedding was filled with various pillows, and their target for the night was nowhere to be seen.

Realizing that tonight's operation had failed, the man in charge quickly came to his senses and made another retreat gesture. In a few breaths, the black-clad man full of tents disappeared without a trace.

The wind stopped, and apart from a few insect chirps, there was silence.

**************

"How did you know they were going to attack at night?" Kevin followed closely beside Du Yuhan and asked curiously.

"Because they have a pig teammate." Du Yuhan smiled mysteriously.

The three people who should have been sleeping peacefully in the tent are now in a hurry in the wilderness a few miles away from the post station.

In fact, the opponent's action arrangement is very perfect, but there is a pig teammate - the innkeeper is really too enthusiastic to be abnormal.

According to common sense, the small post station here is busy, and it is impossible to be hospitable to every traveler - it is not bad if you don't have a good look, love to live, and keep rolling! -- At least that's what Du Yuhan saw when he inquired about the news.

But the shopkeeper not only kept them to eat in the restaurant, but also helped them plan their route and enthusiastically arranged carriages for them. Nothing to do is hardworking, either treacherous or thief, he doesn't think that the store sees him as particularly handsome, so he looks at him differently. Sensing that the situation was wrong, Du Yuhan casually dealt with it and left in a hurry.

Seeing that he was not fooled, I believe that the other party also saw his precautionary heart. Worried that they will leave this place the next day, and it will be difficult to start during the day, then tonight is undoubtedly the best time.

"Humph! Cast a mist before somebody's eyes. Heywood, who was following behind, snorted disdainfully, although his face was still a little pale, but his spirit looked good, at least he had the strength to speak up.

Du Yuhan rolled his eyes, we normal people don't care about secondary two patients.

Along the way, from Heywood's intermittent dictation, they learned a rough idea of what was going on.

A few days ago, Heywood had gone to the prairie near the Intraroyal City to relax, and when he was about to return the next morning, he was met by robbers who were in the way.

Originally, the number of guards he brought out was not large, and the group of robbers was extraordinary, not like an ordinary rabble, but more like well-trained guards. More than half of the people around him were killed or wounded, and he could only flee in a hurry under the cover of the guards.

The robbers seemed to be deliberately luring them deep into the woodland, and there were several opportunities to catch up, but they were allowed to escape. Once they were in the wetland, the robbers stopped hunting them.

Just when everyone thought they could finally catch their breath, several of the guards suddenly attacked them fiercely. Just when the situation was extremely critical, the enemy suddenly screamed, stared at the sharp vines that pierced his body, and vomited blood and fell to the ground.

The huge vines that appeared silently behind them caused everyone to flee in a hurry, but the giant plants hung down dozens of branches, trapping them. Having to defend against deadly attacks from the place, and beware of plants that appear behind them at some point, the rest of the people are already exhausted.

When the weapon in his hand was whipped away by the enemy's sword, just when Heywood thought that this time it was a bad luck, there was a sudden sharp pain in the back of his head, and his eyes rolled unconscious.

It wasn't until he woke up and saw Du Yuhan's big face that he knew he had been rescued. Later, I heard Du Yuhan say that his team was probably wiped out, and I felt an indescribable discomfort in my heart.

This group of guards was picked up by themselves and had been following them for many years. Unexpectedly, the personal guard who was like his brother and sister would betray him, and Heywood showed a sad look.

Looking at the gloomy expression of the bear child who had been jumping around, Du Yuhan sighed, "Do you know who did it?" ”

"How could I possibly know! Those guys had been following me for years, and they didn't see anything wrong with me before. Heywood said hatefully.

"Have you offended anyone lately?"

"Offended?" Tilting his head and thinking about it, Heywood stopped talking.

Looking at his empty expression, Du Yuhan immediately understood-

With his fiery personality, he must have offended people a lot. If it weren't for a big family as the backstage, I'm afraid I would have been surrounded by others on the side of the road and put on a sack and Haibian a hundred times.

"With his character of offending many people and calling few people, it is a miracle that he has survived so far." Kevin smiled lightly.

I don't know why, since Heywood woke up, Kevin hasn't given him a good look, and stabbed him with words from time to time...... Heywood, who is not as eloquent as anyone else, can only jump to his feet in anger, but he is helpless.

In other words, I didn't expect Kevin, who usually has a gentle personality, to be quite vicious when he is sarcastic......

Heywood glared at Kevin, ignored it, and began to analyze the suspicions one by one.

But then again, if the other party really has the ability to turn against everyone around him, it is enough to show that the mastermind is a member of the family, and he has a very strict conflict of interest.

Heywood is the youngest master of the Charles family, and although he is deeply favored, he is not very interested in power positions, and he is not considered a real power figure within the family. It stands to reason that there is no need for the other party to attack him.

But the current situation is that the other party not only made a move, but also wanted to put him to death, which had to make him sort out his own network.

The closest to him in the family is his second brother, who has the same father and mother, but the second brother is mature and calm, humble and polite, and definitely not a person who grudges with others everywhere.

Unless...... Heywood's eyes flashed.

Now the eldest brother and the second brother are the most vocal heirs in the family, and the two have had disputes over big and small matters in the past. But as long as it does not harm the interests of the family, the patriarch is also happy to see their healthy competition.

Usually he has little contact with his eldest brother, and his eldest brother is not the same biological mother as him, so the relationship is even weaker.

Is it?

"What do you think?" Seeing that Heywood's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, Du Yuhan hurriedly asked.

Glancing deeply at the other party, he told his guess.

"Hmm...... It seems that your eldest brother is very suspicious......" Du Yuhan frowned deeply.

I didn't expect this kind of family ethics drama that is only available on TV to be staged alive by my side, it seems that it is not a good thing to be born in a wealthy family, and I can't even have the warmest family affection in the world.

Thinking of this, Ziyan's flat face appeared in his mind, and Du Yuhan felt that his fists were a little itchy.

If he soars in the future, he will definitely have to go back and teach that arrogant stinky boy a good lesson!

However, recalling Patton's strange appearance before leaving, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. I have no power or power in the family, so that bastard kid shouldn't be full and have nothing to do, so I have to think about him, right?

Forget it, he already plans to break away from the family anyway, and anything about Garcia in the future has nothing to do with him.

Suddenly remembering a certain slender Yiren who had been protected by him, Heywood was instantly worried.

"Hey, did you see anyone other than the guards?"

"Young master, how can I have time to take a closer look. I found you and walked away, who knows if you'll die later. Du Yuhan glared angrily at the bear child who was following behind him.

"Heh, I wonder if it was the best choice to leave him to fend for himself at that time." Kevin took the words and smiled softly.

"Cut, if I hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't have survived tonight!" Heywood retorted unconvinced.

"Who knows if those attackers are coming for you?" Kevin said coolly.

"No one called you to help!"

"Then why don't you die?"

"You-"

"Okay, don't make any noise, the demonic beasts within a radius of ten miles will be woken up by the two of you." Du Yuhan quickly stopped with a headache, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Hearing this, Heywood fell silent and refused to speak.

From the flickering eyes and the anxious look, Du Yuhan guessed seven or eight points, and he immediately knew who the person who asked the bear child out for a "grassland walk".

This idiot......
