It is undeniable that Una is a vigorous girl of the Zong tribe, who was obviously bedridden on the first day because of seasickness, but after a day of rest, she immediately became lively again on the third day, and enthusiastically proposed to test riding with Zhao Hongrun to see who could run fast.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun categorically refused.

After all, Zhao Hongrun is self-aware, with his terrible riding skills, how can he compare to Una, who has lived on the grassland since childhood? Isn't that self-inflicted?

What's more, the road conditions they are passing through at the moment are not as good as those of Sanchuan.

Most of the soil in Sanchuan is soft, but because of the grassland vegetation, the soil will not be loose, as long as you don't run fast on horseback, even if you fall down, you won't hurt your muscles and bones. However, the Wei State is mostly loess, which seems to be strong, but in fact, no one dares to guarantee whether the inside of the soil layer has already been soaked by rainwater, resulting in a loose soil layer.

If you fall while riding a horse, you will definitely choke.

Zhao Hongrun didn't want to limp when he arrived in Shangshui County.

Seeing that Zhao Hongrun refused the matter, Una was a little disappointed, but this cheerful girl of the Qiang tribe left this disappointment behind her as soon as she thought about it, and rode her horse to her heart's content on the vast wilderness.

"Yo-hoo-yo-"

From time to time, she still let out such a cry.

This made Zhao Hongrun slightly surprised, because he originally thought that only the people of the Qian tribe would cheer like this.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not strange that the people of the Qiang and the people of the Qiang have the same origin and culture.

"He Miao, Chu Heng, Zhu Gui, follow Una."

Worried about Una, Zhao Hongrun ordered three Zongwei to chase after him.

He could understand that the people of Sanchuan were accustomed to the vast environment of heaven and earth, and did not like to stay in a narrow and restrained place, and their greatest pleasure was probably to hunt prey on the endless grassland.

Therefore, Una lived in Suwangfu some time ago, and although she seemed to be quite happy, Zhao Hongrun could see that she was still a little unwell.

And now that there is a chance for her to vent, this is not a bad thing, as long as you pay attention to safety.

Just when Zhao Hongrun looked at Una in the distance with doting eyes, Qi Jiang slowly rode his horse close to Zhao Hongrun, and said lightly: "Hey." ”

"How?"

Zhao Hongrun's face stiffened slightly, because he thought that Mi Jiang would say something strange, but he didn't expect that Mi Jiang said lightly: "Behind him, there is someone who has followed us for a long time." ”

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "This is the official way, some people are on the way with us, is this strange?" ”

Unexpectedly, Mi Jiang said in a deep voice when he heard this: "That person, with some murderous aura on his body, is not heavy, but there is." ”

"Murderous ......"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang a little speechlessly.

To be honest, he still hasn't figured out what the "murderous aura" is.

But it is undeniable that the guards such as Mi Jiang and Shen Yu, as well as those Su Wangwei composed of veterans of the Junshui Army, can sometimes detect the hostility of some people in advance.

Zhao Hongrun glanced back, and saw that behind their group, there was a person riding a donkey, judging from his height and size, he should be a relatively thin man.

"Shen Yu, what do you say?" Zhao Hongrun asked Shen Yu, the head of the sect guard on his other side.

Shen Yu also glanced back, and said with a hesitant face: "I didn't feel it, but since it was what Lord Mi Jiang said, the son should not take it lightly." ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang.

Considering that Mi Jiang learned the witchcraft of Pakistan, and there were all kinds of gods and ghosts, Zhao Hongrun was also a little hesitant in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit the existence of those things, he really couldn't explain what the "evil thing" in his body was.

"Then let's try it."

Casually speaking, Zhao Hongrun grabbed the reins and ordered, "Rest for a while." ”

Shen Yu understood, and asked Gao Kuo and Chongzhao, who were driving the carriage, to stop the carriage that the female dependents were riding.

The group found a place next to the official road, spread out a sheepskin blanket and prepared to eat something.

To Zhao Hongrun's surprise, the guy riding a donkey behind them actually stopped, sat on the side of the official road, took out a piece of food like a cake from his arms, and ate it one bite at a time.

If you insist on talking about coincidences, Zhao Hongrun himself doesn't believe it.

"Mu Qing."

Zhao Hongrun pouted at the donkey rider.

Mu Qing understood, slowly walked towards the man, and talked to the other party for a few words.

After a while, Mu Qing returned to Zhao Hongrun's side and said: "Childe, it's a man, called Chen Xiao, visually in his twenties, listening to the accent, like the suburbs of Daliang, I guess it's from Zhongmu, Zhongyang, and Huangchi." …… Well, it makes me feel like a man in the ranks. ”

"Soldiers?" Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised.

Mu Qing nodded and said, "This guy does have a bit of a problem, although he seems to be flustered, but I look at his eyes, I don't see any panic, I suspect ......" As he spoke, he approached Zhao Hongrun and said mysteriously: "It's an assassin!" ”

"Didn't you just say that the other party was a soldier?"

Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Whose assassin reported his name?" As he spoke, he pouted at the man on a donkey in the distance named Chen Xiao, and said with a strange expression: "If you look closely, does he look like an assassin?" ”

Mu Qing looked back for a while, and when he saw that Chen Xiao had nibbled on the cake in his hand for a few bites, he glanced at them from time to time, and his expression became a little strange.

It's no wonder that if all the assassins in the world were like this man, the industry would have been extinct long ago.

But having said that, Zhao Hongrun also understands that this crappy assassin named Chen Xiao is definitely problematic.

It's just that looking at the other party's way of stalking, Zhao Hongrun feels a little happy no matter how he thinks about it.

"You say...... Does he know he's been exposed? Zhao Hongrun asked Mu Qing.

Mu Qing thought for a while and said, "Just if we stare at him like this, he should be aware of it...... Give it a try. ”

After that, Mu Qing walked towards Chen Xiao again, and shouted, "Hey, Brother Chen Xiao, do you have any extra dry food there?" We don't have enough dry food here, so we can exchange copper coins with you, do you think it's okay? ”

"Oh, that'...... I still have two loaves here......"

In the distance, the man's voice was heard.

A moment later, Mu Qing came back with two pieces of bread, shrugged at Zhao Hongrun, and made a grimace with a flat mouth.

He was nervous when he saw me go again, but when I said what I meant, he seemed to be relieved. …… I don't think I've been exposed. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun almost laughed.

After half a ring, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Leave him alone, see what he really wants to do." ”

Zhong Zongwei nodded.

After eating some dry food, Zhao Hongrun and his party set off again, and at the same time, the man who rode the donkey, Chen Xiao, also rode over on a donkey.

For a whole day, Zhao Hongrun and his party rested, and that person also rested; Zhao Hongrun and his party were in a hurry, and the man was also in a hurry.

In short, they followed behind Zhao Hongrun and their party.

What made Zhao Hongrun feel the most funny was when they stayed overnight in the wilderness that night.

On their side, they lit a bonfire and ate dry food with dried meat, while Chen Xiao, who was riding a donkey, didn't know if it was because the bread on his body had finished eating, so he actually looked at Zhao Hongrun and them dryly.

"If this guy is really an assassin who came to assassinate me, then it is really a shame for the assassin industry......

Zhao Hongrun shook his head, and instructed Mu Qing with interest: "Go, give him a bag of jerky, otherwise he will be hungry for a night, and he may not have the energy to keep an eye on us every day." ”

"Okay." Mu Qing grinned and walked towards the other party with a bag of dried meat.

Mi Jiang, who was sitting not far from Zhao Hongrun, saw this scene and said expressionlessly: "Stop playing, that person gives me the feeling...... It's amazing. ”

『…… Amazing?'

Zhao Hongrun and Shen Yu, the head of the sect's guard, glanced at each other, a little incredulous.

You must know that Chu Heng, who is the strongest in the strength of these guards, and Mi Jiang's evaluation of him is only "very powerful", and this time, the donkey riding man who looks quite thin can actually receive the "very powerful" evaluation given by Mi Jiang?

"This woman can't be kidding me, is she?"

Zhao Hongrun looked at Mi Jiang suspiciously, but saw that the latter seemed to feel something, and said lightly: "I never laugh!" ”

"Damn the Heart......

Zhao Hongrun scolded secretly, he was really fed up with this inexplicable psychological connection.

At this time, Shen Yu persuaded on the side: "Childe, if Master Mi Jiang said so, this person should not be underestimated...... In case of any accidents, it is better to take the interrogation as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, Mu Qing came back with a strange face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "He...... Said that I would personally thank you, Childe. ”

After that, Chen Xiaolai, the man riding a donkey, turned out behind Mu Qing, clasped his hands into fists and said respectfully: "Thank you Your Excellency for giving me jerky, I am really grateful." ”

Zhao Hongrun was about to speak, when he suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, and turned his head to look at Mi Jiang, but saw that the latter was looking directly at him.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: What are you waiting for? Take this guy!

"Demolish it so quickly...... Not quite right? There's still a long way to get to Shangshui......

"Stop playing! This man is not simple!'

『…… Okay.'"

After making eye contact with Mi Jiang for a while, Zhao Hongrun sighed a little helplessly, then turned his head to look at Chen Xiao, and suddenly shouted: "Chen Xiao! ”

"In!"

Almost subconsciously, the young man riding the donkey, Chen Xiao's eyes changed, straightened his back, bowed his head slightly, and made a standard military salute for a general.

“……”

“……”

The scene was a little cold for a while.

The Zongwei were stunned, and even Zhao Hongrun, the initiator, didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative.

They looked at Chen Xiao with strange eyes, but saw that the latter finally realized that the situation was wrong this time, and his face turned red, but the posture of the military salute was still maintained, and most of them were a little overwhelmed.

After a few breaths, Mi Jiang really couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Shen Yu and the others expressionlessly: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Take! ”

Zhong Zongwei woke up like a dream, and Shen Yu reached out and grabbed Chen Xiao's arm for the first time.

At this time, Chen Xiao also reacted, in Zhao Hongrun's stunned gaze, he first broke free of Shen Yu's hand, and then knocked him back a few steps with a close elbow, and then, after avoiding the fists of Gao Kuo and Chong Zhao, he actually turned around and grabbed the fist that Chu Heng waved at him.

Although the back of his hand trembled, he finally blocked Chu Heng's fist.

“……”

Zhao Hongrun was really surprised.

Shen Yu, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, Chu Heng, the four Zongwei shot together, but they failed to take this person down, but were forced to retreat by the latter.

This is definitely a general-level strength!

It's enough to call it brave!

"This guy...... What's the matter?'

Watching all the sect guards rush up and mingle with each other, Zhao Hongrun was thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
