Chapter 0327: Road Encounter (Third Update)
Guan Heng asked casually: "Lao Huo, seeing that you are in a hurry, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to take a trip to the Demon Weapons Fair in Digong City." Hodley smiled and said, "I just came out of the mansion and was about to go to the North City Gate." ”
Hodley said to Guan Heng without concealment: "Mrs. Cindia's birthday is approaching, and we, the guards and servants in the house, are taken care of by her a lot on weekdays, so we have pooled some money and plan to pick a suitable birthday gift for Mrs. Cindia." ”
"It turns out that Madame's birthday is coming...... Guan Heng tilted his head and thought about it, muttering to himself: "I heard Yu Lijia say before, her mother seems to be in the past few days. ”
"So, I took a leave of absence to go to the Digong Fair to buy gifts." Hodley blinked and said, "But I'm in a bit of a quandary now. ”
Prang next to him asked, "Huh?" Having a hard time buying a gift? What's going on? ”
"Alas, we are a big old man, and we don't know much about Madame's preferences." Hodley scratched his head and said, "It's really hard to pick a gift. ”
"That's the case...... Guan Heng touched his chin and thought about it, and he suddenly had an idea and said, "Did you know that Lady Cindya has a four-foot-long white staff?" ”
"I know, because Madame often wipes the staff, everyone in the house has seen it." Hodley asked, somewhat inexplicably, "What does this have to do with the gifts?" ”
"At the top of Lady Cyndia's staff, there was originally a 'Stone of Reason' inlay, which was later shattered to save Yurijia." Guan Heng smiled and said, "I guess Madame must want a new inlaid magic stone, you might as well buy a gift for this." ”
"Also, we're going to go to the trade fair in Digong City, Hodley, let's go on the road together." Prang said, and looked at Hodley carefully, and he thought to himself: "This big man must have a lot of strength, it is just right for him to carry and carry all the work along the way, and I can have more free bodyguards." ”
"That's not bad." Hodley listened to Prang's words, nodded again and again, and agreed: "Okay, then let's go together." ”
So the three of them first bought some goods in the streets, and then returned to the Baron's Palace, called Meilu as well, and everyone prepared their mounts, and the group of four set out for the small town of Digon, a hundred miles to the east, for the king of Kauru.
Since there was still plenty of time, everyone moved forward slowly, and at this time, Baron Praun began to ask Meilu questions about some fire magic, and the two began to discuss it eagerly.
"Huh?" Guan Heng suddenly noticed that Huo De, who was in the front, was looking forward with his hand covering his forehead, so he asked, "Old Huo, what are you looking at?" ”
"Not far ahead...... There seemed to be a pitch-black plume of smoke rising. Hodley muttered, "I don't know what it is." ”
"Really?" Guan Heng had been thinking about the problem immediately, and when he heard Hodley remind, he noticed the situation on the other side, and he frowned and said, "Something is wrong, I'll go over and take a look first." ”
As he spoke, Guan Heng pulled the reins of the horse and shouted, "You wait here, I'll go back." ”
"I'll go too." Driven by curiosity, Meilu couldn't help but say anything, and followed closely behind Guan Heng, galloping away, leaving only Hodley and Prang in place.
The next moment, Guan Heng and Meilu had already arrived at the scene of the fire, it turned out that a carriage was burned by the flames, and there were four people on the ground, they were lying on their stomachs, blood was flowing around them, and their heads, faces, and limbs were all wounded by swords and weapons.
"Poof!" Guan Heng took the lead in jumping off the horse and walked next to a gorgeously dressed middle-aged fat man, this person was already unconscious, Guan Heng probed his snort, and whispered: "This is not dead yet." ”
"Guan Heng, I, I'm ......" Meilu took a few steps back at this time and stammered, "I can't see the blood, or I'll go berserk." ”
"You're a nuisance." Guan Heng muttered: "I didn't ask you to come with me if I knew it earlier." ”
Guan Heng said, first picked up the unconscious fat man, then threw it on Meilu's horse, and then said to her: "There is no blood on this fat man, you take him to Hodley first, let the fat man sober up." ”
"Okay, what about you?" Miru took the reins of the horse and asked, "What are you still doing here?" ”
Guan Heng said: "I have to see what is going on here, and go back with the fat man." ”
After Meilu left, Guan Heng waved his hand to completely disperse the fire on the carriage into the fire element, and then put it into his body, and after checking the carriage, he found that it was an ordinary merchant's car, but the horses and luggage on the carriage were all gone.
"It looks like a merchant has been robbed by a bandit." Guan Heng secretly thought in his heart: "These bandits are quite ruthless, killing people and overselling goods, leaving no one alive." ”
Glancing at the ground, Guan Heng found that the car was surrounded by messy horseshoe prints, and finally these horses went straight to the northwest, Guan Heng shook his head: "Alas, this matter is not easy to manage at the moment, wait until you go back and ask the fat man." ”
He dug a deep pit and buried the bodies of the three servants, and when he got there, he went to Miro and Prun, and when he got there, Prong met him and said, "You are back, you know?" You saved an acquaintance of mine! ”
"Acquaintances?" Guan Heng asked with some curiosity: "Who is this fat man?" ”
"Alas, it's the store we just visited, the owner of the largest magic weapon store in the royal capital - Mr. Hyde." With a somewhat gloomy face, the corners of Purlong's mouth twitched for a moment, and then he continued, "Do you know what happened? Is it a vendetta? ”
"No, eighty percent of Mr. Hyde and his party were robbed by horse thieves on the way to Digong City." Guan Heng frowned and said, "How is his situation now?" ”
At this time, Meilu and Hodley, who were taking care of the fat man, shouted not far away: "Guan Heng, Pu Lang, Mr. Fat has woken up!" ”
Prang was the first to run to the fat man who was lying on the side of the road, and he leaned down and asked, "Boss Hyde, can you still recognize me?" ”
"Uh...... You are...... Baron Prang?! The fat man Hyde frowned his brows, squinted a pair of small mung bean-like eyes for a long time, and then said: "Of course I recognize you, you have been in my store on credit several times......"
"Poof! Hahahaha-" Hearing this, Meilu, Guan Heng, and Howard immediately laughed.
"You guys, what are you laughing at!" Prang was embarrassed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but when he saw the fat man's miserable appearance, his heart softened again, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
