It is rare to have a quiet day, the time and place are favorable, Lin An thought about it for a day, and finally decided to open up a second demon pool while the state was right.

The foundation stone of the first Demon Dividing Pond was laid, and the opening of the second Demon Dividing Pool was far less dangerous, and it did not require the cooperation of the Black Ghost, but a few days of retreat were always necessary.

But the truth is that the plan is not as good as the change.

The day after Lancet left, the first group of troops to return to the capital also departed, led by Charles and Douglas.

The two of them were very satisfied with this arrangement, because they were more anxious to return to the emperor than to stay in command of the army, not to mention that the rest of the people were either unimportant young children, or family servants, and there were a lot of trivial matters, but they were afraid that the prince and Byron would delay for a long time.

However, just two days after the first group set foot on the return journey, the team led by Princess Elizabeth and Lin An caught up from behind.

"Licui, you ......" how did you catch up!

Charles and Douglas looked in amazement at the two men who had only taken a dozen or so guards with them.

Elizabeth was dressed in a tight-fitting hunting suit, her curvy figure was wrapped in a thick cloak, Lin An was still wearing a robe and a silver-gray cloak, riding a pure-blooded Swall known for her endurance and long-range speed under her crotch, and more than a dozen guards behind her were also carrying more than one empty horse, obviously preparing to change on the road.

"Brother, there was an urgent message from my father last night, let us rush back to the imperial capital immediately."

When Elizabeth saw her two brothers, she stepped forward with a look of fatigue on her horse's belly.

"You guys were on the road overnight last night?!"

Charles was stunned, and couldn't believe that his delicate sister dared to ride a horse overnight - even a flat official road, in the night where he couldn't see his feet, a small pebble was enough to make a tired and unresponsive rusher fall and break his neck!

"As you can see, so in the urgent message, I specially told me to go back with the princess."

Lin An said, a crystal bottle appeared in her slender and white hand, Elizabeth took it, and uncorked it. A floral fragrance with a sweet taste wafted out, and Elizabeth drank it with her head up, and the faint tiredness on her face was suddenly swept away.

Charles also noticed that the guards were also removing the water bladder hanging from the saddle, and the liquid inside seemed to have a similar sweet scent. But the taste is much lighter than what Elizabeth drank.

"Alright. Lizzie has caught up, Charles, don't blame her! Douglas clamped the horse's belly and stepped forward as a good man. looked at Lin An openly, "I've been running all the way, tired Your Excellency the Ladyess, you and Licui quickly get off the horse and go to the carriage to rest and rest!" ”

Elizabeth frowned, a little unhappy with Douglas's somewhat revealing gaze, and pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse's head turned sideways to block Douglas's sight, and said to him:

"Thank you, brother, but I'm afraid we won't be able to go back with you. Because my father asked me to go back as quickly as possible in an urgent message. ”

"What! Even if you keep changing horses, you will have at least five days to go before you can get to the river and get on the boat! ”

"What happened to the imperial capital?"

Douglas and Charles said at the same time.

"I don't know," Elizabeth replied to Charles, turning to Douglas, "but my father has already made arrangements." We'll change horses and travel for two more days to reach Cynthia City, and we'll meet Master Ulysses, who came to pick us up, so we don't have to travel any more. ”

"Is it the urgent message that you want to rush back, is it Her Royal Highness the Princess, or is it including Master Lin?" A male voice came from a carriage behind Charles. The indifferent face of the Sword Master of Thumbis peeked out from behind the curtains.

"It's me, but because Master Alberta wants to sit in the palace to take care of the queen mother, I can't get out, for safety, the queen mother asks Master Lin to escort me back." Princess Elizabeth glanced at Lin An, and Lin An smiled back.

Xiubis stared at Lin An for a moment, as if assessing, and nodded after a while, "Since it is His Majesty's order, the princess should hurry up, with Master Lin here, Your Highness will not have an accident." ”

Lin An was a little surprised, she embarrassed Xiubis last time, and she could see that she didn't have a good impression of her when she met Xiubis this time, but she didn't expect to agree with her strength.

She smiled back politely, but by this time the curtains had obscured his face again.

Seeing that the sword master of the escort team said this, Charles and Douglas could not have other opinions.

The two brothers gave a few words, Charles asked someone to bring horse grass to feed, and replaced the horses that the guards had ridden last night, and replenished some dry food and water, and Lin An and Elizabeth and their party set out on the road again.

Lin An and Elizabeth and their entourage went on the road again, and when they passed about a magic, a rapid sound of horses' hooves caught up behind, no less than dozens of people, and it was approaching in a blink of an eye.

Lin An and the others slowed down their horses and leaned to the side of the official road, and the people behind caught up, and it turned out to be Charles and his team of guards.

"I'm still not at ease, there is the Shubis Sword Saint Escort Team, it's enough, I'll go with you!" He said, glancing at Lin An.

Lin An frowned, and saw that Charles was fully prepared, and the guards and horses he brought with him didn't say anything except that there was no natural spring water.

When it was time for the next campsite to rest and eat, Lin An went deep into the woods next to the camp, used magic to create some natural spring water, diluted it ten times with water balls, and poured it into a beech barrel, ready to take it out and pour it into a water bladder for Charles and his guards.

"Cuckoo-cuckoo-"

There were two birdsongs in the woods, but two swarthy heads of a man and a beast came out.

"......" Lin An was speechless.

In late winter and early spring, some birds have migrated back from the southern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and Lin An has stocked Titi during this time, but he and the shadow lynx ran to the depth of the sea of trees, and when they came back, they began to imitate bird calls, this time learning cuckoos.

And the same divine envoy who is favored by the goddess of nature, in the ears of others, it is just the bird language of ordinary bird calls, but the two can clearly distinguish the meaning inside, and Titi obviously has no language awareness, and it is okay to talk to Lin An in the spiritual power, after usually speaking, all kinds of chaotic bird and beast language are mixed in human language, which makes Lin An cry and laugh.

"You and William are going to eat, and we'll have to follow you later, you know?" Titi said that she had found an interesting cave and two large snakes, and she was excited to share them with Lin An, who replied to him soothingly.

"Humph! Bad Ann! ”

Titi was a little disappointed, and left with the Shadow Lynx in a huff, Lin An didn't care, knowing that he was forgetful, and he was unhappy and forgot about it as soon as he turned his head.

After a short stay, the crowd replenished some water and continued on the road.

When night was about to fall, the group came to a mountain, counting the time to catch up with Charles and the others, Lin An and Elizabeth had already galloped for a day and a night.

The guards and Lin An are okay, most of them have been in the army, plus they have a fighting spirit, their faces are just a little tired, not to mention Lin An, the cold wind in early spring in Merlin is simply unbearable compared to the blade-like wind and snow on the ice field, Lin An is in full bloom at this time, and there is almost no difference from when he set off.

Of all the people who looked relatively tired, only Charles and Elizabeth looked tired.

Fortunately, Charles had the experience of traveling and traveling, and knew how to keep his body on horseback;

Elizabeth was much more wolfless, even though she had the support of the gold-level cultivation and Lin An's natural spring water, the day and night of rushing still made her obviously show fatigue, when she heard Lin An announce that she would rest again, she almost couldn't wait to get off the horse, the action was too hasty, and her left foot almost hooked the stirrup and fell off, but fortunately, one of her guards was already below.

Although Elizabeth was trying her best to maintain her demeanor, Lin An could still see the stiffness of her body at a glance, and habitually gave her a crystal bottle containing natural spring water: "I feel tired, why don't you tell me." ”

"I have to slow down, I can't always let everyone accommodate me." Elizabeth was slightly surprised.

What she didn't say was that when she saw Lin An's expression as usual, even if she knew that she was not as good as Lin An, she would inevitably hide her breath in her heart, not wanting to make herself look too bad and be looked down upon.

However, Elizabeth didn't say it, it didn't mean that Lin An couldn't see it, and said with a smile: "The first time I rushed to the road, I ran for a day and a night in a row, and your appearance has far surpassed many people, and many soldiers I have seen in the army can't compare to you." ”

A person who has not ridden a horse to drive through cannot imagine that life is worse than death when his hips are stuck to the back of a horse all day:

Lin An's first experience was when he left Stuart with them after meeting Andre and his sisters, when Lin An was still a beginner, and even equestrianism was learned on the road, and after the novelty of riding a horse, he found that his lower body was unconscious, and if it weren't for the power of nature contributed by Titi, he almost couldn't get off the horse.

For this reason, she was sneered at by Kronos in her soul, and this stain has become one of the few laughing stocks she is known to the Andrei brothers and sisters, and now that she thinks about it, it is already a little funny.

"What are you laughing at?" Elizabeth's voice sounded beside her, and it turned out that Lin An laughed unconsciously.

"I remembered what happened with Andre and them before." Lin An smiled and said simply.

"Oh, I've heard of Master Andrew, he's your friend! Your relationship must be good. ”

Lin An's smile just now was very infectious, and the warmth of that moment even overshadowed the light brought by that stunning beauty.

Elizabeth felt a little envious in her heart, remembering the rumors she had heard before, hesitated, and asked cautiously, "Well, it is said that you and Master Andre have known each other for a long time, before Ranster?" ”

Lin An glanced at her when he heard this, and saw that her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't have a weak heart, so she smiled and said, "No, I met Lancet earlier." ”

Elizabeth's blue eyes darkened, but she still smiled.

"Whoever comes first doesn't mean anything, though, just like your Guardian Knights."

Lin An smiled faintly and walked away.
