Chapter 22: The Moonlight Corps
At dawn the next day, the three of them got up early and hit the road.
When packing up and preparing to leave, Xiaotang put on a coat for Tianlan and said softly: "The humidity is high in the morning, it is cold, so it is better to wear more." ”
Seeing the two of them sweetly, Ye Yi couldn't help but tease: "You two kiss me and me, it's really enviable!"
Xiaotang's face turned red with shame when he heard this. Tianlan said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaotang is like my relatives." ”
"Oh, yes? What's the relationship between you two? ”
Xiaotang replied confidently: "I'm Gongzi's maid, what's wrong? Isn't this a matter of course?" Most of the maids eventually became the master's concubines, Xiaotang was not disgusted by this, but Tianlan had no such plans, he always regarded Xiaotang as a sister and supported her to find her own happiness.
"Maid?" Ye Yi blinked and said, "Are you still a nobleman?"
Tianlan smiled, "I'm just a traveler. Ye Yi's question was neither affirmed nor negative. He saw several carriages parked in the distance and said, "There's a caravan over there." Let's go over and ask, a ride can save a lot of effort. ”
The caravan had ten wagons and more than eighty people. Judging from the clothing, there are more than 20 people from the caravan, and the others are wearing armor and equipped with blades, like mercenaries.
"What? you three want to take our car?" The caravan leader looked at the three people, the male was dignified, and the female was young and beautiful, both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they didn't look like vicious people at a young age, "Okay." It's not impossible to get on one of our cars. Well, five gold coins per person!"
Ye Yi scolded secretly in his heart: It's really dark. He knew that Tianlan was very rich, but he didn't have any money, so he always let people pay for him, and he couldn't help it.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a broad sword on his back walked over and said with a smile: "Old customer, what are you doing to make it difficult for a few children? If they have a lot of money, you don't care! Just let them help." ”
The team leader was also generous, and when he saw that the big man was helping them speak, he didn't care about the few gold coins, and said, "Okay." That's it, if you need anything, you'll help move things. I'm going to get busy!"
The middle-aged man walked up to Tianlan and the others and said, "My name is Wang Hu, I am the head of the Moonlight Mercenary Group, and I am employed by this caravan this time to serve as a guard. Haha, as the name suggests, our Moonlight Mercenary Regiment spends all its money every month, and we have to come out to take on new tasks, so we can exercise and exercise!
Tianlan smiled and said, "Tianlan, this is Xiaotang, this is Ye Yi." He introduced them one by one. Wang Hu saw Ye Yi carrying a sword on his back, his eyes lit up, and he put his arm around Ye Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother, how are you practicing swordsmanship?
Ye Yigang wanted to boast about it, but he thought that he had suffered a loss under Xiaotang's sword move yesterday, so he had to say, "It's okay." ”
Wang Hu laughed a few times and said, "This is not good! Young people must be energetic! Be confident! Come on, come on, make a few moves!" With that, he forcibly arrested Ye Yi away.
Xiaotang covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "This head of the regiment is really interesting, he is very kind!"
Tianlan saw the evil smile on the corner of Wang Hu's mouth when he left, and whispered: "I hope he didn't see Ye Yi's true strength and have evil intentions......"
"Ah, what are you talking about, Childe? I didn't hear ......."
"It's fine. Hopefully, I'm more ......."
And so it went on for two days. Ye Yi was dragged by Wang Hu to drink and chat every day, and soon got into a mess with the mercenaries. He found that these mercenaries had a straightforward temperament and had a great appetite for him.
The first time he drank wine, Ye Yi poured a glass curiously, and as soon as he took a sip, he squirted it out, and said again and again in his mouth: "Ah! What is this? It's really unpalatable, bitter and astringent!"
Wang Hu laughed and said, "Brother Ye, you must not have drunk." It's a good thing! You want to drink it when you're happy, and you want to drink it when you're unhappy. When you're happy, the more you drink, the happier you get, and when you're not happy, you forget your troubles!
Ye Yi took another sip in disbelief, bared his teeth for a long time, and said, "I really don't see what ......is good about such a bad thing," Wang Hu had to smile bitterly.
After a few days of getting along, the more Wang Hu looked at Ye Yi, the more he liked it, and put forward a request that Ye Yi join the Moonlight Mercenary Group. Ye Yi hesitated for a while, but still politely declined.
"Brother Ye, do you think our mercenary group is not good?" Wang Hu asked with a smile.
Ye Yi said: "No, the mercenary group is very good. But I still have to continue my trip with two companions. ”
"That's it!" Wang Hu's own strength is not weak, but it is really not good to look at people. He didn't see anything good about the frail boy and a yellow-haired girl, so he didn't think about inviting them. He fought with Ye Yi a few times, and found that this young man's strength was not under him, so he made up his mind to take him under his command. In his mind, Ye Yi probably coveted beauty, and that little girl was really good-looking......
Ye Yi has no heart and no scheming, but it doesn't mean that he will go with others casually. Tianlan and Xiaotang are close to him in age, they are both good to him, and he also promised to travel with them, and there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway.
The caravan was stationed to rest. Xiaotang jumped out of the carriage, stretched his waist, and said to Tianlan: "This road is really smooth! But the carriage is quite tiring and topsy." None of the carriages in our house are like that. ”
Tianlan said with a smile: "How can this be compared? These carriages are probably only a few tens of gold coins each, and the carriages in our house are at least hundreds of purple gold coins, which is converted into tens of thousands of gold coins, a thousand-fold price difference, how can it be the same!" Even the nobles of the family could not use a carriage with tens of thousands of gold coins, and the most expensive carriage on the market was only a few thousand gold coins. Tens of thousands of gold coins of carriages, if you want to buy nowhere to buy!
Xiaotang took Tianlan's arm and said, "I know it too!" I'm just afraid that my son will be tired...... Childe, do you think that those mercenaries' attitude towards Ye Yi is much worse than their attitude towards us? Why do I think they are always cold-eyed, as if they will kick us out at any time. ”
Tianlan smiled, "Yes, I saw that those mercenaries were almost drooling when they looked at you. ”
Xiaotang shook his head and said, "Hmph, a group of color embryos." I don't like them!"
Tianlan Zhengse said: "Xiaotang, you have to be careful. Although most of them are inferior to you, when it comes to the experience of the rivers and lakes, you are still too shallow, and you can be put down by any means. Their attitude has nothing to do with us, so we will part ways with them tomorrow and save ourselves from being entangled together. ”
After a while, just as the caravan was about to set off, Tianlan suddenly felt a burst of cold air around him...... No, it's murderous! He quietly released his spiritual power, and found that there were ambushes all around! There were not many people, only thirty-two people, and they surrounded the front and back, and there was no way out!
"Xiaotang, don't leave my side. Tianlan gently pulled Xiaotang to his side.
When Yiren heard this, his face flushed, and when he reacted, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and said, "Childe, what's wrong?"
