Chapter 0228 - The Targeted Convoy
So, Isaac agreed to go on the road with Guan Heng, Xia Ni and the convoy to send off his relatives, and the matter was decided without suspense under the discussion of the two.
"So you decided to go with this family team, didn't you?" Xia Ni nodded after listening to Guan Heng's narration: "I have no opinion, who told us not to know the shortcut to Gaxia Town, it is very beneficial to follow the convoy that is familiar with the distance." β
It didn't take long for Shani to be very happy with her wise decision, for Miss Yeterina turned out to be a very kind and talkative young girl, and she and her maid Monica were feeling lonely and bored on the journey, and they had an extra female companion, Shani, which surprised them both.
It only took a while for the three girls to become good friends, and they all hid in Yeterina's carriage, teasing the little white lion Dingchun while chatting, so hot.
"Heh, in the end, it's the girls who can talk better." Guan Heng saw these in his eyes, and he also sighed a little: "It's a good thing that they are not lonely on their journey." β
At this time, Guan Heng merged his carriage into the procession to welcome his relatives, and one of the guards volunteered to help him drive the car, while Guan Heng and Isaac chatted about the customs and customs of the neighborhood at the front of the team, and Isaac was talking about the original abundance of this plain, which used to be the most famous natural pasture and hunting area in Kaulu.
It's just that now, after years of war, most of the people have moved to the interior of the country, and the northern plains are gradually becoming barren.
Gradually, the northern plains of Kawulu became a place infested with small groups of demonic beasts and sporadic orc rangers, and the remaining people who did not move away were also miserable.
"Today, the villages along the northern plains are so sparsely populated that people who don't travel a lot on this road don't want to pass through here." Isaac shook his head slowly and said, "Especially the traveler who is on the road alone. β
"Oh, according to what you say, it's not very peaceful along the way!" Guan Heng rode on his horse, while enjoying the scenery on the road, he asked casually: "It's not early, have you decided where you are going to rest tonight?" β
"Fifty miles ahead of the official road, there is a small village without a name." Isaac touched the stubble on his chin and said, "In the past two years, I have traveled back and forth between the royal capital of Kaulu and Haoyue City on official business, and I often stayed there, and the village chief and other villagers are not bad, and they are all hospitable to foreign guests, probably because there are few people there." β
"Okay, looks like we'll be there in half an hour." Guan Heng pulled the reins of his horse, and he suddenly said to Isaac, "Have you noticed? Behind our convoy, about three or four kilometers away, it seems that someone has been secretly following! β
"What?!" When Isaac heard this, he was taken aback: "Guan Heng, are you serious?" How come I haven't noticed ......"
"Because the other party seems to be a connoisseur of hidden whereabouts! You see, the place I'm talking about is a wild forest. Guan Heng pointed behind him with a horsewhip and said: "There is no strong wind blowing now, but there are frightened birds flying out of that forest from time to time, and it is obvious that someone is ambushing it, and the motive is unknown." β
"What then?" Isaac frowned and said, "We have too few people, and the task of protecting Miss Yeterina here is very heavy, so we really don't have time to investigate the situation in the wild woods!" β
"Hmm...... I'll go for it. After thinking for a few seconds, Guan Heng said in a low voice: "It's convenient for me to act alone, if there is really any trouble, it will be solved!" β
"This ...... Is it appropriate? Isaac was a little worried about Guan Heng going alone, he said: "Brother, we are not afraid of anything else, I am worried about your safety, otherwise we will hurry up and go to the village in front of us, and don't worry about the affairs in the wild woods!" β
"It's okay, Big Brother Isaac can rest assured." Guan Heng waved his hand nonchalantly: "How many people can be hidden in a small forest, it won't be a large number of troops, right?" I can handle it. β
"Besides, don't make a noise about it." Guan Heng lowered his voice and said to Isaac: "Especially don't disturb Miss Yeterina, a royal lady, now that Xia Ni is guarding by her side, I am not so worried about the carriage and you here." β
"It's the movement of that wild forest that makes me a little uneasy, so I have to make sure!"
Guan Heng said this, glanced at the movement of the surrounding wilderness again, and said to Isaac: "Seeing that it is approaching dusk, the convoy is staying in the wilderness, and absolute safety cannot be guaranteed, you quickly take them to the village in front, and I will solve the matter later!" β
Seeing Guan Heng's insistence, Isaac had no choice but to nod: "Okay, you remember to be more careful, I and everyone are waiting for you in the front village." β
"Wait, this horse I'm riding, you can take it by the way." Guan Heng said: "Dozens of miles are only a blink of an eye for me, and this mount is a bit dazzling, and it is not suitable to stay with me." β
After the two discussed, Isaac led the convoy as usual, and traveled to the unnamed village dozens of kilometers away.
However, Guan Heng quietly sneaked into the barren grass next to the official road, and a sound of asking for a rope sounded, and he gradually disappeared and touched the wild forest not far away.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the wild woods next to the official road, a group of samurai in armor covered their faces with masking helmets, leaving only their eyes bursting with cold light outside, their armor was originally bright and dazzling, silver and white, but in order not to be recognized by acquaintances, they were all smeared with pitch-black ink!
A leading armored warrior commanded in a low voice: "The lord said, Yeterina, that dead girl, would rather marry Haoyue City far away than agree to his marriage proposal, so he simply stopped doing it, intercepted them halfway, slaughtered them all, and then blamed the Grand Duke of Demachi!" β
"Boss, what does the lord mean by doing this?" The subordinate asked with doubts: "What a good lord, his old man is also a nobleman of Kaulu, if the royal family and the Duchy of Demacchi are in trouble, what good can it be?" Isn't this tearing down the corners of your own house? β
"You know!" The leader of the armored warriors scolded in a low voice, "What's the big deal about a noble title? The goal of our master is the throne of the king in the palace of the king of Kaulu......"
Speaking of this, the leader of the armored warriors suddenly realized that he had said too much, and he immediately changed the subject: "Hey, after dark, you will all follow me and go to the village where the convoy will stay at night, and those accompanying guards, Yeterina, and the people in the village, I will kill them all if they don't have any left, and then set fire to the village!" β
