Chapter 4 Overnight at the Manor
In the ancient wilderness, there is no street lamp at night, this world is cloudy, the daytime is cloudy, and there is no moonlight at night, and it is really dark to reach out and not see the five fingers.
Therefore, those who are in a hurry must find a place to stay before dark, otherwise they will accidentally miss the inn or inn or other accommodation, and can only find a safer place to stay overnight.
Tang Feng's team was not the first to take a fancy to this abandoned manor, and the two soldiers who had gone to explore the road came back to report that a group of roadrunners had occupied the manor, a total of eight of them, driving two improvised carriages.
And that manor is not too big, it will definitely not be able to accommodate our more than 200 people.
There are three people on top of a horse and two hundred cavalry, and the lineup is indeed not small.
"Then set up camp in the open space outside the manor."
Xiao Wei didn't want to disturb Tang Feng, who was still sleeping, because of the sound of speech, so he got out of the carriage, stood on the frame like a fairy, and asked softly, "You should all have no problem, right?" ”
Of course, there is no problem.
These clone warriors have all cultivated internal strength, and they can be regarded as second-rate masters in the martial arts world.
War horses are also genetically strengthened, extremely humane, and will not neigh indiscriminately, the whole team's camping process is quite quiet, no matter how unfamiliar with the military layman, at a glance, you will know that this is a well-trained elite soldier, and it is likely to be the elite of the elite.
During this process, there were people inside the gate of the manor who were constantly snooping out, of course, another group of rushers who had taken up the place one step ahead.
A stout man in a warrior's suit lowered his voice and said to another middle-aged man: "Steward Zhao, this group of soldiers is amazing, you see, such a large number of people, even people and horses have not made any movement." ”
"yes, yes."
Steward Zhao nodded and said, "I already knew about us, but I didn't come to disturb...... It's good, it's good, I'm relieved. ”
If you are out and about, if you unfortunately encounter a gang of bandits, it is much more terrible than a gang of robbers in the ordinary sense.
And now, it is a lot more reassuring, with them guarding outside, they can follow a little light, at least, those unfashionable spirits will never dare to come to offend.
A man who is a soldier, with strong blood and three feet of murderous arrogance on his head, can restrain the little demon and ghost alone, not to mention such an amazing elite general.
It is estimated that the great demons who have been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years have to retreat when they encounter them.
Originally, several of them missed the lodging due to special reasons, and they were worried, worried in their hearts, knowing that such an abandoned manor was very unsafe, and they could only make a helpless choice, how could they also shelter from the wind and cold, which was much stronger than the empty wilderness outside.
Well, now, I am fortunate to meet such a group of well-disciplined elite soldiers, and I suddenly feel much more stable and steady psychologically......
At the same time, in the luxury carriage outside, Xiao Wei also said to Le'er in a secret voice: "There is no problem with people, two female dependents, a housekeeper, two servants, and three people who practice martial arts, should be their guards or bodyguards." ”
After a slight pause, his gaze changed slightly, and his tone was a little cold: "But this Zhuangzi is very problematic, I can feel it, there is a yin and evil aura......"
"It's just a ghost."
Le'er shrunk her neck, but her smart eyes were flashing with curiosity, and she was a little naughty: "Sister Xiaowei, can I help you catch ghosts then?" ”
"Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Yui asked amusedly.
"I'm not afraid."
Le Er made a fuss, and turned out a lot of magic weapons from the storage ring, all of which were of all kinds, and there were more than twenty pieces.
She picked at random and muttered, "The master has collected a lot of treasures in the cultivation plane, and he has refined some of them himself, and he has rewarded me a lot, but I have never used them." ”
Xiao Wei's eyes flickered, and it could be determined through the fluctuations of the spiritual power of these magic weapons, the grades were all very high, and in the cultivation realm inside the prison, each one should be extremely rare.
She couldn't help but sigh: "The master is really good to you." ”
"Hmm!"
Le'er nodded vigorously, and there was no show-off between her expressions, only deep happiness and satisfaction.
Xiao Wei turned his head to look at Tang Feng, who was still sleeping quietly on the couch, and knew in his heart that no matter how good he was, he couldn't compare to the fun.
The reason is very simple, Le'er gave everything to him, including the whole soul, which can be said to be completely selfless, without distractions, and extremely pure.
I am different, I should never be able to do what Le'er did......
Soon, when it got dark, several bonfires were lit in the cavalry camp outside the manor, and many torches were planted around it, and most of the clone warriors were covered with moisture-proof mats, sitting cross-legged on them to rest.
Only the squads on duty in shifts will set up simple tents, lie down and cover the quilts to sleep in turns.
Inside the manor, the three dilapidated houses in the outer courtyard were lit by candlelight, the two female dependents lived in the middle, and the butler servants and warrior guards stayed on either side of the next door.
The houses in the outer courtyard are all dilapidated, the windows and doors are gone, and the effect of shielding from the wind and cold is really limited.
In comparison, the houses in the inner courtyard were quite intact, but they did not dare to go deeper, and they did not dare to run to the inner courtyard to sleep.
Although this group of people does not have a strong sense of evil things, their vigilance is not bad, of course, they know that if they live in the outer courtyard temporarily, if there is something abnormal at night, they can still have time to escape from the manor.
So, no one knew for the time being, but the rooms in the inner courtyard were not only spotless, but each had a wardrobe with a long red dress, a white robe, and a pitch-black cloak hanging from each of them.
Three pieces of clothing, each occupying a room and a wardrobe, just this one looks super weird.
After dark, the red dress in the main room of the inner courtyard was the first to move, turning into blood, flowing out of the gap in the closet, and then, a vague figure in a red dress appeared in the air, and immediately disappeared.
At this moment, in the dilapidated house in the middle of the outer courtyard, two female relatives were talking.
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid untied a small burden, took out dry food and dried meat, and said softly, "Madam, you better eat something." ”
The lady, who was only in her twenties, had a beautiful appearance, but her expression was melancholy: "You can eat, I really have no appetite." ”
The maid was quite persistent in delivering the food to the master, and continued to persuade: "Madam, don't worry, Steward Zhao said that the cavalry team outside is very disciplined and has no aggression against us, and he didn't even send someone over to ask for half a sentence." ”
"I know."
Madame nodded slightly: "It is a blessing in misfortune for us to meet such a group of sergeants in this wilderness, otherwise, I really don't have the confidence to survive this night." ”
"Yes, ma'am, just get through the night!"
The maid smiled and said excitedly: "Tomorrow, we will be able to arrive at the Taiping Mansion, as long as we see the famous General Zhennan, we will not be in any danger." I think that this cavalry team must be a subordinate of General Zhennan, so it will be so disciplined and innocent of the people. ”
General Zhennam......
Madame shook her head and sighed, with tears in her eyes: It is because of this that I am sad in my heart, and I don't know what face I will have to see him again.
At this moment, what flashed in her mind was the young hero who stood with a sword, righteous and awe-inspiring, and had no fear in the face of power.
But that was seven years ago, and what has become of him now?
She didn't know that only a few dozen meters away, a person who looked very similar to 'him', was sleeping in a spacious and comfortable carriage with the identity of a general of Zhennan, and the corners of his mouth were still full of ...... Wicked laughter.
