Chapter 261: The Village at the Foot of the Mountain
"Oh, slow down!" Three horses galloped down the road, and on one of the horses in the back, a woman's voice rang out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as the voice appeared, the man in the lead slowed down, and the second person in the middle sighed.
The three of them are Wang Hao and his party, they have been on the road for more than two days, except for finding a place to rest at night, the rest of the time is in a hurry.
And this is the sixth time today, and Zhang Qing will ask to rest every once he passes.
The other party is a woman, and the person leading the way in front is the other party's subordinates, and he can only tolerate it.
"At this pace, when will you be able to reach the capital, if you can't stand it, go back." After the three of them got off the horse, Wang Hao said helplessly.
"Don't!" Zhang Qing'e frowned and replied with a pout.
Again, this answer has been known for a long time.
"How far is it from the capital?" Wang Hao walked to Zhao Hu's side and asked out loud.
They spent two days in a hurry during the day, and then cut out the rest time during the journey, and walked for more than ten hours.
The speed of the three horses is quite fast, although it is not said to travel thousands of miles a day, but there are still hundreds of miles a day.
"At this rate, it will be there in about five days." Zhao Hu said.
In fact, he was also a little tired, if it weren't for the young lady's presence, with their speed, full speed forward, I'm afraid the total time would only be a short three days, but now it has been doubled, it is indeed a little slow. But he also admired Wang Hao, he had been on the horse for so long, he didn't feel tired at all, and there was no abnormality at all.
"It's okay, it's not in a hurry, it's just a few days of work, just slow down, don't run the horse to death at that time, it's not cost-effective." Wang Hao also decided to slow down time.
One is because Zhang Qing in the back, after all, is a young lady, although she has exercised a lot in martial arts and can bear hardships and stand hard work, but after all, a woman can't stand it after a long time of bumps on the horse. The other party does not have Wang Hao's physique, so it is not surprising.
The second is that the horses can't stand it, they run for hours during the day, they are not sweaty BMWs, they don't have that ability, so they should rest, he provoked Zhang Qing to go back, it can be regarded as a little fun in a hurry.
"It's been a quiet journey." Wang Hao took out the water bag and took a sip of words.
"Who says it's not, this, it's also a loss to those sects." Zhao Hu said on the side.
"Oh? What does this mean? Wang Hao asked with interest.
On the side, Zhang Qing was originally made to ignore him by Wang Hao's agitation, but when he heard about the martial arts, he decided to forgive him for the time being.
"This road is an official road, but when you go out, the government is not good at squatting here all the time, so there are many robbers. Many people are afraid to leave, but since one time, these robbers accidentally offended a nearby sect, and then this sect decided to eradicate the bandits in this area, so this place has become much calmer. ā
"So at stake? What sect? Wang Hao was a little surprised.
It is very difficult for a sect to exterminate all the bandits, even if the court dispatches, it will take a lot of twists and turns, because these green forest thieves are close to the mountains and rivers, and the nest is excellent after all, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the court can't take it at all.
"Here, it should be the Taishan faction." Zhao Hu had been to the capital once, so he knew a little. After pondering the location for a while, I finally came to a conclusion.
"Tarzan faction?" Wang Hao said softly. Speaking of this Taishan faction, it is naturally one of the five mountains, and it is also one of the powerful sects here, so he naturally knows it.
It turns out that this place is not far from the Taishan faction, do you want to take a look?
"Hey, what are you thinking?" On the side, Zhang Qingzheng was listening to Huan, and suddenly saw Wang Hao thinking about things, and couldn't help asking.
"I'm wondering if I should go to the Tarzan faction." Wang Hao replied.
When he finished speaking, he knew that things were not good.
"Good! Then go for it! Sure enough, Zhang Qing directly made a decision.
If Wang Hao didn't say it, it would be okay, if he said it, how could this eldest lady who was obsessed with martial arts not go.
Zhao Hu hesitated, although he was his own miss, there was no doubt that it was Wang Hao who made the decision.
"Just go, just passing." Wang Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Qing, who originally said that he was tired, didn't feel tired, and saw that the two agreed to go, so he stood up, patted the dust under him, and was about to set off.
Wang Hao and Zhao Hu glanced at each other helplessly, shook their heads and got on the horse.
This Taishan faction is not too far from here, or rather, they were originally going to pass by the foot of the mountain, which can be regarded as a stopper.
For more than three hours they had been on the road, stopping to give it a drink when they were tired, and waiting until it was dark to reach the foot of Mount Tai.
At the foot of the mountain was a small village, not very prosperous, at least by the time they arrived, everyone had basically closed their homes to rest.
Zhao Hu found a room, knocked on the door, and an old man came out of it, and the two talked about it, and in the end, they gave the old man a tael of silver, and the other party agreed to take them in.
Originally, they wanted to go up the mountain directly, but after all, it was not suitable to go up at night, and except for those who came to make trouble, they generally did not worship the mountain at night, and when they went up the next day, who called the other party's sect a Taoist sect.
"Excuse me." Wang Hao and Zhang Qing tied their horses, walked into the house and said politely to the old man, and then went to their room.
There is only one room in this room, and if you want three people to live here, you can only give it to Zhang Qing, who calls the other party a woman, you can't have two big men and her squeezed into one room, it's definitely not suitable.
The time was not early, the three of them ate a little dry food, and decided to rest, Wang Hao and Zhao Hu were in the living room, casually spread a layer of quilts, just rested, Zhang Qing also returned to the room.
At night, several people have fallen asleep, and in this kind of village, at this point, no one will make a noisy sound, so they sleep very soundly.
At about the same time, a few dog barks came from the entrance of the village, but after a few sounds, they had stopped.
Zhao Hu happened to wake up a little because of these sounds, looked around in a daze, recalled that he was staying outside, and felt that he was a little urgent, so he opened the door and walked out of the door.
Wang Hao also noticed his movements, but after all, he was ordinary, so he didn't care, turned over and continued to sleep.
Ten minutes passed, and Zhao Hu still didn't come back.
"Poof~" Suddenly, a very low voice sounded, this sound was very strange, as if something had fallen to the ground, but it was very low and low, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all.
Coincidentally, because of the quietness of this village, the sound of the dog barking before was quite obvious, and there was Zhao Hu's action of leaving, which made Wang Hao's sleep become half-awake, so in this state, he happened to hear this movement.
Wang Hao, who was a little confused, got up, and after four or five seconds, he came to his senses and looked at his side.
Zhao Hu has been away for more than ten minutes, Wang Hao frowned, how long does it take for Xiao Xie to take so long?
Wrong!
