Chapter 45: Attacked
When Zhao Tiezhu came back, it was already dark.
He was accompanied by Elder Yu and a few strangers, as well as three carriages full of herbs.
"Cheer up, we're ready to go!"
As if he didn't feel that it was getting late, as soon as Zhao Tiezhu returned, he began to greet everyone.
Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect to rush overnight, and then someone questioned: "Commander, look.... It's getting late, why don't we rest for the night and leave tomorrow? ”
"Nonsense, can't I see it's dark?
The employer asked me to rush back to Utan City overnight, don't be sluggish, hurry up and move for me, and set off! ”
The first article of the mercenary order is to try to meet the employer's requirements without violating the principles, so after knowing that this is the employer's request, everyone has nothing to say.
Under Zhao Tiehammer's shouting, everyone in the Blood Blade Mercenary Group was orderly divided into three groups, each group of five people, guarding the three carriages and walking towards the outside of Qingshan Town.
And those strangers left after the Bloody Blade Mercenary Group set off, thinking that they should be the guards of a certain force in Qingshan Town.
In the same group as Lin Fan, except for Mu Xue, the remaining three newcomers.
This was naturally deliberately arranged by Zhao Tiezhu, although Lin Fan was also a newcomer, no matter his courage, wisdom and strength, he was no worse than the old mercenary.
When you come, you may feel very relaxed, but when you return, it is not so simple, not only to guard against the monsters, but also to guard against some bandits and robbers.
But fortunately, everyone in the mercenary group also rested for a while, and they were also in good spirits at this time.
It didn't take long for everyone to slowly walk into the forest, it was already completely dark, and with the bright moonlight, it was not a problem to hurry.
"Brother Fan, what kind of medicinal herb did you say this was?"
Mu Xue looked at the large pile of medicinal herbs on the carriage and asked.
Hearing Mu Xue's words, Lin Fan turned his head to look at the carriage beside him, and then shook his head: "I don't know, and the head of the regiment didn't say anything." ”
"Then I'll ask the head of the regiment."
After Mu Xue finished speaking, before Lin Fan could react, he ran to Zhao Tiezhu, who was at the front, and asked with big eyes, "Commander, what kind of medicinal materials are we transporting?" ”
Zhao Tiezhu frowned: "Why are you asking this?" ”
"Curious! Tell me, Commander! Mu Xue shook her little head and said coquettishly.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't!"
Zhao Tiezhu looked around, then glared at Mu Xue, then turned his head and ignored her.
"Humph! If you don't say it, forget it. ”
After Mu Xue touched her nose, she ran to Lin Fan's side angrily: "Brother Fan, the head of the regiment bullied me." ”
"Oh?
The regiment commander bullied you, but he was a fighter, and I couldn't help it. ”
Seeing Mu Xue's angry appearance, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh and joke, obviously knowing that Zhao Tiezhu wouldn't say anything.
"Humph! You're bullying me too, I'm not leaving. ”
Mu Xue stomped her foot angrily and stood still and didn't leave.
This stumped Lin Fan, and he was suddenly a little at a loss, with a wry smile on his face.
Mu Xue likes to pester Lin Fan, which is a well-known thing in the Blood Blade Mercenary Group, so after seeing this Mu Xue angry, everyone also began to joke.
"Yo, Brother Lin Fan made the little daughter-in-law unhappy, haha."
"Brother Lin Fan, let's go first, this barren mountain and wild mountain has a different flavor."
"You've got to be quick, or you won't be able to catch up with us for a while."
"Hahaha....."
The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and everyone walked past Lin Fan and Mu Xue with laughter.
Being made such a fuss, Lin Fan felt even more embarrassed, seeing the Blood Blade Mercenary Group going farther and farther, he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, until the convoy was out of sight, Mu Xue took the lead in speaking: "I'm pretending!" ”
"Pretended?"
Lin Fan was stunned and stared at Mu Xue suspiciously: "Why?" ”
Mu Xue stood on tiptoe and glanced at the front of the meeting, then continued: "I think there is something wrong with this mission.
Brother Fan, think about it, there are so many mercenary groups in Qingshan Town, just hire one to send the medicinal materials to Utan City, why do you want us to run back and forth.
Another point, these three carts of medicinal herbs are worth 100,000 gold coins, which is also a big business for Xuanjitang, but the old man surnamed Yu asked to hurry at night, didn't he know that he was prone to encounter some robbers at night.
Once encountering robbers, the strength of the regiment commander is useless.
The main thing is because of the woman's intuition, my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong. ”
After listening to Mu Xue's words, Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully.
He also felt that something was wrong before, but he was embarrassed to say it, and now that Mu Xue said it, he felt that there was a problem.
But why is all this?
After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't understand what the problem was, so Lin Fan immediately decided to catch up with the big army first.
The two of them hurried in the direction of the mercenary group's advance.
Since the speed of the carriage was not fast, it didn't take long for Lin Fan to catch up with the large army.
Fortunately, there was no accident with the Blood Blade Mercenary Group, and after everyone saw Lin Fan catching up, they started another round of playful jokes.
"Brother Lin Fan, didn't you expect you to be so fast, hahaha!"
"It's just, counting the time to hurry, my God, it's too fast to imagine!"
"Brother Lin Fan, it's not me saying you, sometimes you have to be slow."
"Haha......"
Lin Fan glared at the few guys who were making more trouble with a dark face, and then walked to the carriage assigned to him without saying a word.
"Brother Fan, what do they say is fast, do you mean that you are hurrying fast?"
Mu Xue obviously didn't understand the meaning of everyone's words, and asked puzzledly.
"Uh...."
Lin Fan suddenly had some words choked, but he couldn't think of a better explanation, so he could only nod and say, "That's what they mean." ”
"I see!"
Mu Xue nodded, and shouted at the people who were still frolicking: "I'm not targeting anyone, I mean everyone present is scum if they compare speed, my Brother Fan is the fastest!" ”
Lin Fan's face is full of black lines!!
"Hahaha......"
In a word, everyone laughed even more.
"What are you laughing at, you don't believe that you can compare, let's stop here for a while, and we can still catch up with you in a while."
Mu Xue crossed her hands on her waist and shouted unconvinced.
However, the crowd still laughed as if they had not heard her words.
"Xue'er, don't say a word, they don't understand, they don't understand!"
Lin Fan was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly signaled Mu Xue to stop talking.
"Yes, we don't understand, Brother Lin Fan knows best."
"Brother Lin Fan doesn't know best, but knows the most, haha."
"Snow Girl......"
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was frolicking, a large tree suddenly collapsed in the middle of the road, making a loud noise.
Then, a cold voice came out: "I planted this tree, I opened this road, if you want to cross this road, leave the road to buy money!" ”
