Chapter 224: Canyon Clouds
The atmosphere was much more harmonious, but neither of the two clever men gave up their guard.
The slight difference is that Gru hides his mind very well, while Old Blue does not hide it at all.
In this regard, Gru was not angry, but repeatedly showed favor.
The current situation is a bit bizarre and weird, and if he wants to get out of the Forgotten Canyon safely, he must add some support to himself as much as possible.
After eating some food, the three of them set off again. In the evening, passing a large corner, Old Blue and Hubert stopped together.
Gru didn't ask too much, just looking for a place to rest next to them.
"You....... Go to that boulder. Don't huddle all together, if something happens, no one can escape. Old Blue took the initiative to ask.
Gru looked at it, and the position was indeed not bad, as long as he got close to the dent, it would be difficult for people passing by to find him. In the evening, the hiding effect is even better.
After thanking him, Gru walked straight over and began to make some preparations. After all, he was a little tired after a long day's walking, and if he could be more comfortable while practicing, he wouldn't mind being busy a little longer.
"Don't do anything superfluous!" Old Blue couldn't help frowning as he watched Gru carry the stones, and quickly reminded him.
"Oh......." Gru replied, and instantly understood.
The stones he removed were not conspicuous, but they were not all unusual. The wind and sand in the canyon are a bit large, and the rocks have obvious characteristics, and if you pay enough attention, it is easy to notice that the stones have been moved.
For a moment, Gru broke out in a cold sweat.......
He said in his heart: Although this old man is not strong, he is extremely thoughtful and has great experience, and a person like him should not be an ordinary businessman!
He beckoned to Old Blue, and then put back the stones that had just been removed.
First, put the goods in the innermost, and then move some stones slightly to avoid accidentally making a noise. When he was ready, he walked over to Old Blue, intending to help a little.
The goods they had brought had been put into an inconspicuous crevice in the mountain, and some sand had been sprinkled on the outside to cover them, and it was extremely difficult to see anything unusual without noticing. Gru also searched for a long time before he found out where the goods were.
And Old Blue and Hubert each dug a shallow pit, half inclined to the left and right, just the size of a man. The shallow pit was inconspicuous in the shade of the sparse grass nearby, and it was located right behind the side of the big corner, and it was generally unnoticed by caravanserais.
If the person lying in the shallow pit tries to fill in some sand and weeds, it is simply one.......
"Amazing....... Much better than my position. Moreover, it is much more comfortable to lie in a shallow pit than to lie on a rock. However, although this position is inconspicuous, it can't accommodate three people, otherwise it will be a bit conspicuous. Gru is also an experienced adventurer, and he is no stranger to various camouflage techniques, but he is still ashamed of himself compared to old Gru.
Old Gru, who was still busy, urged impatiently: "It's getting dark, you return to your position as soon as possible, don't move....... If it's okay today, we'll be able to get out of this canyon tomorrow!"
"Well, I'll be careful. Gru left the rest of the jerky and liquor for the two of them, and he returned to Dashi and stayed there in peace.
For some reason, tiredness struck, and he stared at him for a moment. I don't know how long it has been, but he suddenly heard the noise of cars and horses, and he suddenly came to his senses.
At this time, it was already dark, and he was behind the big corner, and the light was very poor, and he could not see the situation in the distance.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and the wails and begs for mercy were mixed together, buzzing and terrifying.......
"This is the way back! What are these people trying to do....... If this passage is too dangerous, and without caravans and merchants, it will be the Clark family who will suffer the most!
He had already decided that these people were the minions of the Clark family! The reason was simple, and only the Clark family, who controlled the entrances and exits, could easily do this.
Taking a step back, even if the head of the Clark family is not in charge, they are necessarily the ones who are actively involved......
After he figured this out, he was very angry, and said in his heart, "When I see my lord again, I will definitely report this matter truthfully." I believe that the lord will not sit idly by......."
Not far away, there was a strong smell of blood, and although he had long since gotten used to it, he still felt very uncomfortable. The dying wail, like the whispers of demons, constantly stimulated his mind and made him feel a little indescribably anxious.
"Calm down, calm down....... When you can't do anything, don't go out and take risks....... In the end, they will pay the price for their evil deeds. He kept admonishing himself in his heart.
He didn't bother to count them, but he could still roughly estimate that the dying wounded were at least hundreds........ As an adventurer, he has long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but he still can't be indifferent at this moment!
"What exactly do the people of the Clark family want to do......." he couldn't help but ask again.
After the carriage and horses, there was a deathly silence.
A sense of powerlessness came over him, and he felt very tired, very tired....... I just want to take a break like that.
"Hehe, I always thought my life was extremely miserable, but I'm alive anyway, compared to these people....... I should be glad indeed. What do I have to do for you....... Even if I can't save you, I have to seek notarization for you as much as possible!"
After the carriage and horse, he moved his numb body slightly and changed his position. And at this moment, many warriors in bright armor rushed from afar.......
The torches flickered on and off, and he could only see a vague silhouette, and he couldn't see the emblem they were wearing.
"It's also the direction to the town of Shining Gold...... Something is wrong, there are too many of them, this is already two squadrons in the past, and there are many more behind, who are they?" After suddenly noticing these things, he was secretly a little surprised, and immediately cheered up.
"The third squadron, the fourth....... Sixteenth ....... There were even cavalry....... And the magician....... And the doctor ...... "In the end, he couldn't care about being surprised."
"This is a standard warband!What exactly do they want to do when they enter Shining Gold in this way?Does Lord Lord know about this?Should I turn back and report these things first?" He hesitated again, but this time he made the opposite choice: "No, I'm going to go back and report the situation here....... Even if the lord finally punishes me, I can't turn a blind eye to it selfishly. ”
After calming down again in the canyon, Gru immediately climbed out from behind the boulder.
He looked at Old Blue's position, sighed softly, and then immediately walked away quickly in the direction he had come.
He didn't turn back immediately, and chose to continue to Libel, intending to use all the opportunities he had to buy a magic teleportation once he got there, and go straight to Shining Gold.......
When Gru walked away, the two who were supposed to be lying in the shallow pit suddenly appeared in the shadows.
"Old friend, do you ....... Is he really the messenger of the new lord of Shining Gold?" Hubert asked in a low voice.
"You saw it just now....... He carried a secret letter with him. Old Blue replied lightly.
Just now, Gru squinted inexplicably for a moment, he thought he was tired, but in fact he had fallen into a kind of sleepy magic. During that time, the two took the opportunity to search, and not only found some coins, but also found several secret letters that Yunlang had given to Gru.
“........ I wanted to open it and make sure, didn't you allow it?" said Hubert.
