Chapter 246: The Price

West - Anfu, five miles outside the city......

At this time, in the dream game, it was the middle of the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high and the stars were dull, and a team of more than thirty people was walking on the official road.

Although it is an official road, there are no street lights on either side of the road, and this team can only rely on its own torches to illuminate.

"I don't know what happened to the master today, so suddenly we took the young lady out of the city overnight and returned to our hometown in Weinan."

A man with a torch was a little fat, he grumbled, and he was dressed as a guard of a wealthy family.

The fat guard scratched the back of his neck with his hand as he walked, because walking at night with torches would attract a lot of mosquitoes to bite.

"You don't know yet, do you?" Next to him, another person dressed as a guard of a wealthy family whispered to him: "This evening, the Zhang family sent someone to tell the master that he had taken a fancy to the young lady. ”

Although his voice was small, it was very clear in the middle of the night, when it was so quiet that only the chirping of night owls could be heard, and many people who had doubts about the master's order pricked up their ears to listen.

Most of these people who pricked up their ears to listen were NPCs with mid-level intelligence, but there was only one exception, and that was the one closest to the middle of the group, who was dressed a little differently from the other big clan guards, and looked more advanced, as evidenced by his position near the center.

This person is the reincarnation Yu Mo, and his current identity is the head of the Jiading Guardian Courtyard hired by the Li family, which is a little higher than the ordinary guards around him.

Yu Mo unconsciously slowed down at this time, and he was also listening to the conversation between the two.

Not for anything else, it was because he temporarily received this escort order from the master of the Li family, which made him feel confused.

He hadn't done anything that needed to be done at night, but today this task was too strange, a big family in Xi'an Province suddenly wanted to send his daughter back to his hometown.

But even if you send your daughter back to her hometown, then there is no need to choose this big night to go to bedtime, right?

They were all lightly armed, with only thirty guards, and they were required to be sent to Weinan early tomorrow morning.

So......

What's going on here?

"The Zhang family? Which Zhang family? Could it be ......?"

The fat guard who had spoken thought for a moment, and then he seemed to have come to a very remarkable conclusion, and for a moment he almost exclaimed.

"Dead fatty, what are you shouting?" The guard next to him whispered softly, and then lowered his voice a little more, "You guessed it right, it's the Zhang family!" ”

At this time, Yu Mo, who was originally walking in the middle of the front of the line, slowed down and began to fall to the back of the line, because he wanted to hear the conversation between the two people clearly.

"The Zhang family has the support of King Qin, and the son of the Zhang family doesn't know where he heard about our young lady's beauty, saying that he fell in love with our young lady, and today he sent someone to tell the master that he wanted the young lady to come over and be his concubine."

"Concubine? I remember that the son of the Zhang family already has a concubine, right? It seems that there are still quite a few ......" The fat guard also seemed to be a well-informed person, and he asked suspiciously, "Then if our young lady passes, how many will we have to rank?" ”

"The people of the Zhang family said that it is the thirteenth concubine."

"I'm in my twenties, I haven't even married a mother-in-law, and that little white face has twelve wives and concubines and is not satisfied, and I still want to take our young lady as a concubine?" The fat guard was a little indignant, and he didn't know whether to complain about his own young lady or for himself.

"Hey, if it's a real concubine, the master won't let us send the young lady back to his hometown."

"What do you mean by that?" The fat guard seemed to be a super cooperative listener, and asked the doubts in the heart of Yu Mo, who was also walking at the back of the team at this time.

"The Zhang family is in charge of the Qin Palace, if they really want to take a concubine, the lord may agree after thinking about it, after all, if they can catch the King of Qin, even if it is just a little corner, it is also the Prince of Daming." But the son of the Zhang family didn't give a dowry, and he didn't find a matchmaker, so he sent a small servant to pass the word, asking the master to send the young lady to the Zhang Mansion early tomorrow morning, this is not obviously to spoil the young lady, but I don't want to let ......"

"Damn!" Yu Mo finally couldn't help it and said a word viciously.

"Brother Yu Mo, we ...... We're just chatting... Small talk, not serious. ”

At this time, looking at the appearance of the guard who was talking, it seemed that he had just found Yu Mo beside him, and waved his hand at Yu Mo again and again, as if I was talking nonsense.

"It's none of your business." The muscles on Yu Mo's face twitched, and you could imagine how much he gritted his teeth.

With that, Yu Mo walked forward quickly and walked to the middle of the team, where there was a fully enclosed carriage, which was also the only fully enclosed carriage in the middle of the group.

Because it was a night rush, the surroundings were dark and blind, and the team was mainly guarded on foot, so the coachman did not sit on the seat in front of him to drive the horse, but walked in front of the carriage, pulling the reins in one hand and holding the whip in the other, and walked slowly in the middle of the procession.

Yu Mo walked to the carriage, propped up the seat in front of the carriage with one hand, and easily sat in the position where the coachman should have sit.

The coachman was just a low-level intelligent NPC, and in his logical category, he would not be curious about Yu Mo's behavior at all, because Yu Mo could now be regarded as the supreme commander of the team of more than thirty people, and it was normal to sit on the seat at the front of the carriage when he was tired of walking.

However, Yu Mo still glanced at the coachman who was leading the horse in front of him very carefully, and then he leaned back and whispered to the curtain in front of the carriage: "Miss, it's me." ”

"Yu Lang?" Behind the woven curtain, there was a nice sound, like a oriole.

I have to admit that Yu Mo's pickling skills are really awesome.

Because this eldest lady of the Li family has already shouted such a sensual title at this time......

"Miss, there are people around."

Although this young lady can shout so sensually, it doesn't mean that Yu Mo has to respond to her sensitively, he also has to take care of the other people in the team, you know, the team is not all low-level intelligence NPCs, and there are some guards who belong to intermediate intelligence, such as the two guards who just spoke.

The woman behind the curtain obviously didn't care about this, but snorted very arrogantly and said: "They are all slaves in the house, what I want to say, they can't care, even if they borrow the courage of the three of them, they don't dare to say anything nonsense to Daddy, Daddy will only believe me, where will I believe them." ”

Yu Mo was also speechless when he sat in front, because this eldest lady's temper was so willful and rude, but it was precisely because of this that he could have the opportunity to get close to this eldest lady.

If he is replaced by another well-informed and gentle daughter, he is just a small mercenary, and he is only the head of the nursing home in a large family, so why should he hook up with others?

You know, those quiet girls who are knowledgeable and courteous are not easy to deceive...... Ahem, it's not good to hook up, phew, it's not right, that's what it means anyway.

"Miss, I just found out that the master asked us to escort you back to your hometown because of ......"

Before Yu Mo's words were finished, there was a sobbing sound behind the curtain of the car, and then the woman was heard to say: "When I used to accompany me to watch the moon, I called someone Xiao Tiantian, and now I call Miss Ren's wife, you say, do you have another woman outside......

Didn't they all say that this ancient woman was the best, and encouraged her husband to take a concubine? Why is this eldest lady so suspicious?

Now is not the time for two people to watch the moon on the rooftop, this big night is on the road, surrounded by other family guards, if there are any rumors and rumors to the Li family in the future, then won't their own intentions be discovered by the Li family before they are realized?

Yu Mo hurriedly said: "Miss, don't cry, it's quiet this night, and any sound can be heard far away......

Halfway through the words, Yu Mo stopped talking, because the surroundings were too quiet, very quiet, so quiet that it was abnormal, so wrong!

"You still call Miss Others, huh." Behind the curtain, the eldest lady of the Li family obviously also found that Yu Mo was halfway through what she said, so she stopped, but she didn't notice the strangeness around her like Yu Mo, but was still coquettish to Yu Mo in the carriage.

"Chokβ€”"

It's the sound of a sword unsheathed!

In this dark night, there are no large woods near the official road, and this kind of metallic sound, even if it is small, will travel far away because the tone is different from the surroundings.

"Prepare for battle!"

Yu Mo is worthy of being a reincarnator who can get the top few places in the battlefield trial, and his sense of battle and crisis is much higher than that of many intermediate intelligent NPCs!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

The sound of a few arrows leaving the string, as if in response to Yu Mo's words, shot out from the dark night on the side less than two seconds after he finished speaking!

"Ahh

"Help meβ€”"

"Be careful! There is an ambush with bows and arrows! ”

In just a few seconds, this small team, which was originally only more than 30 people, was attrition in battle because of these sneak archers, and five people fell, and at the same time, five more torches stained with sand were burning on the ground.

"Damn it!" Yu Mo cursed secretly, but now it was not just by cursing to repel the enemy who attacked sneak attack, he immediately ordered loudly: "Everyone, throw down the torch and throw it as far away as possible!" Gather towards the carriage and don't panic! ”

Yu Mo does have some talent for combat command, and at present, it seems that several orders he gave are very correct.

Because although carrying torches can light up the night, it is only suitable for use when you are in a hurry, and when you march in the dark night, once you encounter a sneak attack, it is the most stupid behavior to hold these torches again.

While these torches illuminate the surroundings, they will also make their own people leak out of the enemy's field of vision, don't you see that the few people who died before were all these guards with torches?

Moreover, the opponent's bow and arrow seemed to be very accurate, according to Yu Mo's preliminary judgment, the opponent shot less than twenty arrows, and killed five people on his side, this kind of hitting efficiency can already be regarded as accurate in the dark night.

"Quick! All towards the carriage! ”

Yu Mo beckoned to the guards around him, and said in a low voice to the carriage: "Qing'er, don't panic, don't sit in the carriage, lie on your stomach as much as possible, and don't look up." ”

Yu Mo looked at the other side, he couldn't see anything clearly in the night, even if he had ordered the guards to throw the torches around, but these guards had limited arm strength, and they didn't know how to throw them, so they couldn't throw far at all.

"Hahaha, Miss Li, my son-in-law has taken a fancy to you, that's the blessing of your Li family, where are you going to go this big night?"

In the darkness of the night, an arrogant voice came.

"Damn! This group of people relied on being stewards in King Qin's house, and they actually laid an ambush on the official road so close to Xi'an Mansion! One of the NPC guards cursed viciously, his performance was similar to that of those real players after being attacked, because he was an NPC with intermediate intelligence, so his expressions and actions were much richer and more realistic than those NPCs with primary intelligence, like a real person.

Yu Mo now also knows who the other party is, but he doesn't mean to fight hard, now the enemy is clear and I am dark, I don't know how many people the other party has come, if there is no absolute force value, rush over and fight hard, that's not a hero, that's a fool!

"Quick, flare, signal!" Yu Mo ordered a few guards on the side.

The signal flare is just Yu Mo's own name, this thing is to put it bluntly, it is a firework, don't think that this thing has to be in modern times to appear, as early as the Song Dynasty, it has been invented and used in some activities and wars, and some large families have fireworks, it is not a strange thing.

"The letter is gone!" An NPC exclaimed.

"What?!" Yu Mo was also startled at this time, he originally thought that this Li Yuanwai was making a big fuss and escorting his daughter back to her hometown, how could he bring this kind of thing, but now he is extremely eager to find this thing.

"Find out, if it's ...... anywhere"

"Sect Leader Yu, don't look for it, your letter is here!" The man who spoke was standing not far away, and there were torches burning on the ground, which also illuminated his appearance before the people.

He was wearing the same guard costume as Yu Mo and the others, and he was chubby, and he was the fat guard who spoke before.

"Dead fatty, I'll make you pay!"

"The price? Hahaha...... "The fat guard seemed to have heard something funny, and then he said to Yu Mo: "Yu Jiaotou, don't think that we Zhang Gongzi don't know what you did, you have already gotten along with Miss Li, right?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Mo's face also changed slightly.

"But there are a lot of sons in my family, and he doesn't look down on Miss Li at all, but he knows that you are good at martial arts, so he set up this bureau to let you come out of the city." The fat guard's chubby appearance was like a smiling tiger, full of joy, but the words he said afterwards made Yu Mo even more discolored.

"Miss Li, won't you let your guards step down? Don't forget how you promised us Zhang Gongzi, and don't forget his orders. ”

As the voice of the fat guard ended, a woman's voice also came from the carriage: "The Li family guards all retreat, tidy up, let's go back to Weinan." ”

The voice sounded very cold, and there was no coquettish feeling at all, which made Yu Mo fall into an ice cellar.
