Since Scarlet and Enjohan teamed up at the age of 16, they had never commissioned a single caravan bodyguard.

On the one hand, when he was a child, he was tired of traveling long distances with his father, who was a merchant, so he was not interested in the commission of caravan bodyguards, and more importantly, more importantly, Scarlet had always felt that this kind of task that was not challenging and time-wasting was really not worth it, and it was better to do two more commissions to hunt beasts to collect materials.

That's why Engami Han listened to the 'huh?'.

"You kid can, you can make your child willing to do things she doesn't like. After listening to Scarlet explain the reason for accepting this commission, Yuan Shanghan patted Gui Qingchen on the back and said.

"It hurts, it hurts. "Gui Qingchen doesn't know much about Scarlet, so he is confused about what Yuan Shanghan said, he only knows that this brother hurts a lot.

"Qingchen, what is your weapon now?" Scarlet asked suddenly.

"Alluring the country and the city, well, good. For some reason, Enjo Han began to pretend to be an old critic and suddenly interjected.

Gui Qingchen stopped talking to Yuan Shanghan, gave up the idea of complaining about him, and directly answered the question: "Maybe the initial opportunity was because I blocked the fire, so I thought that if I didn't have any martial arts foundation, I would use the armor first, so I asked Yuanchen with the sword to train with me before the hunting assessment, and he attacked my shield with a sword, and then successfully passed the assessment, so I think I may have unexpectedly applied the shield, and I will always use it in the future." ”

"Shield, the earth that the earth attribute touches at all times can provide strong support and stabilize its center of gravity to resist the attack, and I think it's quite suitable, but I don't know if you've ever thought about adding a weapon with attack power?"

"Of course, I've always wanted to, but I don't know what I'm good at and what weapons I can use well. ”

"Uh...... Shield, sword and shield, ah Shanghan still can't use a sword. Belch.. Gun shield, ah, then spear, just use it if it's not easy and then change it. Scarlet thought about what combination was more reasonable.

"Spear, not bad. Gui Qingchen imagined his brave appearance with a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, and nodded dissatisfied.

At this time, they never expected that such a casual decision would play a life-and-death role in the later adventures.

On the afternoon of the day he took the commission, Scarlet took Gui Qingchen to Jiang Lian, Jiang Lian chose a few lighter spears according to his body shape and shield-wielding characteristics, and then asked him to choose his favorite one from these spears.

Due to the rush of time, the caravan guard may need to walk for a long time, and the bag cannot carry too much weight, so Gui Qingchen decided to store the spear in Jiang Lian's weapon shop first, and by the way, he can also let Jiang Lian's master compete for personal fine-tuning of weapons, and he still took his usual shield on the road this time.

On the morning of departure, Brother Cai, the leader of the caravan, explained the route map to the three of them. Starting from the gate of Yuji City, passing through the small forest in the west of the Yuan Kingdom, crossing the tributaries of the Longshu River, and crossing two hills, we will arrive at the territory of the Participating Kingdom, and this destination is to escort the caravan to the central city of the Participating Kingdom, the Sheltered Heavenly City. According to the terrain, the time to ride the carriage and the time to walk are allocated, and the whole trip takes about ten days.

One of the most important places to pay attention to is a small forest and the other is a mountain, although the road taken is the road that the caravan walked away from before, it will not be as difficult as clearing the wasteland, but it is inevitable that there will be a situation such as a beast assault, and having a hunter escort is also a kind of guarantee.

"Then let's go!" Brother Cai folded the map and beckoned the caravan to prepare for the road.

Six wagons, plus the three men who escorted the caravan, a total of 10 men, marched west one after another. On the first day, the road was flat and open, and the carriage drove without hindrance, but the next day the forest and plains alternated, and the carriage could only stop and go, and when it was dark, they would sleep next to the village on the edge of the small forest, and then officially enter the small forest at dawn, after all, the forest in the dark night could stay less.

"Brother Shanghan, what's wrong with Sister Xiao'er?" Gui Qingchen ate the dinner given by the villagers, looked at the increasingly frowning Scarlet and asked Yuan Shanghan quietly.

"It's boring, in addition to rushing or rushing in the past two days, this is quite good at hiding irritability, how did you find out?" In fact, Yuan Shanghan also rarely saw the appearance of scarlet irritability, and he thought it was quite interesting on the side, so he didn't say anything and let it develop.

"Ah, it's not a notice, it's just a little different from what it usually looks like. Shanghan took a sip of vegetable soup, and the pure vegetable soup had no meat taste, so it was really not delicious.

"But," Shanghan looked in the direction of the forest, "it should be fine tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Gui Qingchen looked at Yuan Shanghan and smiled slightly, unable to understand what he meant. Yuan Shanghan didn't pay any attention to his question, picked up the dough cake that the villager had just given him, walked to the scarlet and handed it to her, and then chatted with each other.

In the early morning of the next day, Scarlet woke up from the carriage with luggage, and since she was the only girl in the whole caravan, everyone was not embarrassed that she set up a tent outside to sleep with them, but decided to let her sleep alone in the carriage, although Scarlet didn't mind very much, but she still slept comfortably alone, and she was not so irritable when she slept comfortably.

"Oh, I'm in a good mood. Enshang Han saw the scarlet man who was taking a deep breath and stepped forward to talk.

"Well, it should be that there are many trees in front of it, and the air is very fresh. ”

Seeing that his arms followed his breath and lifted and released, but his eyes kept staring at the scarlet man in the depths of the forest, Yuan Shanghan didn't look over his head and smiled, thinking: When did this child care if the air was fresh or not, it was purely because there was prey in the forest that he was in a good mood. When you think about it again, looking at the movements of the scarlet is like a preparatory exercise before hunting.

"Oh~ everyone is ready," Brother Cai looked around and said, "Then let's leave early." ”

"Where's Qingchen?" Scarlet hasn't seen Gui Qingchen since he woke up.

"He was still asleep when I woke up, and now I don't know, maybe I've gone to the village to wash up. Enjohan replied. Gui Qingchen has only been a hunter for a month or two, and he hasn't adapted to this rhythm of life that comes and goes, and it's normal to not sleep well.

"Ahh Speaking of people, Gui Qingchen waved his hand as he ran over.

Brother Cai looked at Gui Qingchen, who was panting and panting to Scarlet and Yuan Shanghan, counted the number of people in the caravan, and shouted loudly after packing up his things: "Everyone is ready, ready to enter the forest!"

Slowly going deeper from the edge of the forest, the trees are getting denser and denser, but fortunately, all the people who walk are trampled on bald ground, so you don't have to walk cautiously, but you still have to be wary of the jungle on both sides. The caravan led the horse and walked in the middle, the leader Cai Ge and the sword-wearing Yuan Shanghan walked in the front, and the scarlet man with the bow and two arrows on his back and the back of the Gui Qingchen Palace with the shield on his back.

Gui Qingchen had never been alone with Scarlet before, and when the three of them were together, they also preferred to talk to Yuan Shanghan, the reason was that in addition to being a little embarrassed that Scarlet was really good-looking, more because he felt that Scarlet often gave people a mysterious and cold atmosphere that they didn't dare to approach at will, and others said so.

walked for more than two hours, and the two of them had never had any communication for these two hours, which made Gui Qingchen really can't help it, and said to Scarlet: "The two arrows on Sister Xiao'er's back don't seem to be the same." ”

“...... Well, one is the most ordinary, and the other is specially made by Jiang Lian. Scarlet responded.

"Wow, it's special, what kind of special law?" Gui Qingchen became interested as soon as he heard that it was specially made by Master Jiang Lian.

"Hmm... After suddenly raising his bow and shooting an arrow into the bushes in front of him, he continued as if nothing had happened: "There is a layer of flint on the surface of the arrow. ”

Wait a minute, what happened just now, there is a beast in ambush, or do you just want to put an arrow?But Sister Xiao'er didn't say anything, she still had a calm face, what should I do, what is going on, I don't seem to understand what this operation is at all, Gui Qingchen was taken aback by this sudden move, and his heart was full of question marks, thinking about whether to ignore that scene and continue the topic just now or ask the questions that appeared, in short, the air was quiet again at this moment.

Gui Qingchen organized the words in his mind as he walked, and when he was about to speak, Scarlet suddenly rushed into the bushes with an arrow, that is, the place where the arrow had just landed.

Looking at the scarlet who left the team in an instant, the language that Gui Qingchen had just organized exploded and dispersed, and he was stunned in place, not knowing whether to follow or stop the caravan or be stunned.

I saw that the scarlet man who stopped bent down and pulled out the arrow, and at that moment the blood on the arrow was pulled out like a thread, the scarlet man ran back with another arrow, looked at the stunned Gui Qingchen, put the one in his hand in front of him, and said, "Rabbit, make lunch." ”
