Chapter VIII Escort 4

"Dada...... Rows of carriages marched along the wide road, surrounded by a group of heavily armed knights, and it was already early the next morning, and Edil had officially gotten up to give a speech. There are fifty guards (excluding Shu and Chitong, each of whom is equipped with a horse), seven coachmen (Shu drives a carriage), eight carriages, one Edil himself, one Shu and Chitong, and the remaining five are full of food, at first Su is still very puzzled, although there are sixty-one people, but every city should be replenished with supplies, is it too much to bring so much? Edil explained that when passing through some remote villages, he gave the locals some food for free.

The first is to go to the southeast coastal cities, where the security is better and the imperial capital is closer.

From time to time, there were pedestrians from the countryside to the imperial capital, most of them young people full of confidence, as if they had seen the original Tazmi. "Now, little ghost, are you going to go to the imperial capital?" Su drove the carriage and said to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who came from the opposite side, the boy had black broken hair, a sword on his waist, he was carrying a lot of luggage, his clothes were a little torn, he should have walked from a remote village, and he should have longed for a "romantic" life in the imperial capital.

Hehe, only if you have really lived in the imperial capital, can you understand that it is a real kind of bloody "romance". "Are you calling me?" The boy stopped, looking at him with a little confusion. Seeing the vigilance in the boy's eyes, Su smiled awkwardly, stopped the carriage, and let the others go first, "It's nothing, I mean if you're going to the imperial capital, we can give you a ride." ”

"Strange, isn't this the way to the imperial capital? I asked the people in the village on the road, it should be this road. ”

"How is this possible? Our convoy has just driven from a city, and you can't go wrong, you probably haven't met anyone in a few days, you must have encountered danger in the past few days, you should have been confused by them. Su first showed a look of surprise, and then a smile, almost wrote "I am a good person" on his face, and there was a little surprise in his tone, which was definitely an actor-level acting.

"But ......" The boy still hesitated a little, and when he saw that he had some results, he was ready to strike with a hot iron, and then took out a map from his bosom, jumped out of the carriage and walked to the boy's side, but kept pinching his nose, "Na, you see, we are here now (at that time, Su pointed to a city far away from the imperial capital), and the imperial capital is here, we are now in this direction, and we must have taken it wrong." ”

The last trace of worry in the boy's heart was completely dispelled, and seeing that there was still such a long distance from the imperial capital, a little loss fell on his immature face.

Seeing this scene, Su was ready to give him the final blow, "It's okay, we have to go to the imperial capital anyway, why don't you take a companion, we will provide you with food and accommodation, and you will provide us with protection as a reward, how about it?" "Behind the seemingly fair, there are a lot of long-cherished calculations.

Being able to walk alone in the wilderness must be stronger than those guards. And Shu just sacrificed some rations, and it was possible to exchange for a powerful guard.

The boy was obviously moved by his words, and his face was grateful, "Thank you so much, I will definitely do my best." ”

"Well, then you go to the front convoy and find someone at random, and ask him to take you to Ediel, and tell him that it is Arthur's recommended escort, and if not, come to me, I will be behind. Why don't I go with you? Su put away the map, looking concerned.

"No need, I'll just go myself." The boy turned and strode away, as if he was afraid that Suzu would catch up. Su looked at the back of the boy who was gradually moving away, and suddenly said, "Hey, my name is Shu, and I haven't asked your name yet!" "My name is Garo." The boy shouted from afar.

"Garo...... Garo, what an interesting name. After muttering a few words to himself, he turned around and walked towards the carriage, and the red pupil couldn't wait any longer, so he opened the door, and wore the wide-brimmed hat, and kept looking at this side, and the probe was very cute. I couldn't help it, so I walked over and gently rewarded her with a brain jump, "What are you doing?" The red pupil covered the place where it was bombed, pouted a small mouth, and was so cute that he was about to stay, but for the sake of the dignity of a man, he swirled in his mouth and swallowed it back.

"Nothing, what's going on?" Su smiled and smiled, "Go back, if you don't leave, we'll pull the team." The red pupil closed the carriage door, and Shu also whipped the horse to urge the horse to go quickly, "Shu, why do you believe that Jia Luo, aren't you afraid that he is the assassin of the minister?" ”

Because there is only a small window between the carriage and the coachman, the sound insulation is not very good, and I can hear it very clearly. "Well, the first lesson of the lecture hall on knowing people and others. First of all, the scratches on Garo's clothes were similar to those of wild beasts, and he also had a strong smell of blood and sweat on his body, which was strong...... The smell doesn't come out in a day or two, and of course, it's possible that the assassin will prepare for this, after all, people who seem to be fools are more likely to let their guard down. So the second one is very important. Second, we were setting out in the early hours of the morning, and there weren't any good observation points near Edil Manor, so they shouldn't know where we were, let alone send out the killer so soon. Thirdly, I saw a lot of sagging in the lower part of the luggage on his back, which should be all money from the shape, and an assassin should not be wearing such a heavy thing, which greatly affects the operation. Fourth, based on the above three points, I don't think he is a qualified assassin, and after the failure of the first assassination, he will definitely send a stronger assassin, rather than sending a random person to die. After saying so much, Su also felt a little thirsty, "Do you understand?" ”

"Nope."

"Can you be tactful?"

"I can't."

"Well, I'll say it again...... "That's it, two boring people said it all the way.

It was noon, and after a long morning's walk, it was really thirsty and hungry, but there was a small village in front of the map, and Edil decided to go to this small village to rest first.

The carriage had been at the back of the convoy, and it was a message from Garo, and it seemed that Edil had given permission.

"How far is it, it's hot. Red Hitomi, talk to me for a while. Red pupils? Red pupils? Su complained and turned his head to see how the red pupil was...... Well, well, the unventilated carriage was like a steamer on a fire under the scorching sun, and the red pupils had already fainted from the heat, sweating profusely, and reclining on the seat.

Looking at the sleeping appearance of the red pupils, Su smiled slightly, maybe that person liked her.

Su took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, but just touched her face, and her hand was suddenly grabbed by the red pupil.

"Boss, boss......" Red Hitomi showed a painful look on his face, "Don't go, I won't steal food again, please, don't leave my ......"

Shu's hand trembled, thinking of the dead guy, "You are so easy, I have to pay back what you owe to other girls." ”
