Chapter 18: Unexpected Discoveries in Missions

Previous Chapter

Ma Wei continued to inquire about the news while studying and working with Li Wei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info unconsciously adapted to life here, and until he found new clues, he didn't plan to leave for the time being.

"Xiaohuo, I received a mission to protect dignitaries, but this trip is relatively far, would you like to go with me?" At dinner, Li Wei said to Ma Hui.

Most parts of the world are not densely populated, so thieves are rampant in remote places, and it is still very dangerous to travel far away.

"I'd love to look around, maybe I can think of something, where I'm going this time?" Ma asked the horse.

"This time it's to escort a dignitary to an allied country...... I won't hide it from you, I'm going to Song Kingdom. It's good that you know this yourself, don't tell anyone else. Now that our Qin Kingdom is prosperous on the surface, there is actually an undercurrent surging, but with me on this trip, you don't have to worry. ā€

In fact, Ma Wei is not worried, even if the mission fails, as long as he is fine, he may be a little worried about Li Wei...... After thinking about it, Ma Wei decided to accompany Li Wei to go with him.

…………

A few days later, on the country road near the capital of the Song Dynasty, a team of men and horses was hurrying, and this was the team led by Li Wei to secretly go to the Song Kingdom.

Ma Wei was also among them, carefully observing the situation around him, and since he was not yet fully developed, his appearance was more appropriate to be described as handsome than handsome.

Li Wei, who was in the lead, was a little strangely handsome, or rather heroic, and she shouted loudly: "Everyone cheer up, we are about to reach our destination." His Majesty King Song is a very good person, and he will definitely treat everyone with good wine and meat. ā€

In order to facilitate her movements, Li Wei wore men's clothes. But even if she is dressed in men's clothes, her bumpy figure still makes people see that she is a woman at a glance.

Encouraged by Li Wei's words, everyone swept away the tired look on their faces, and began to widen their eyes to observe the surrounding situation like horses.

Ma Wei approached Li Wei and whispered, "After this forest path, it is the main road, and the surrounding terrain is flat, leading directly to the capital of the Song Dynasty. If there were assassins, there would be no chance here if they didn't do anything. ā€

Li Wei nodded and replied in a low voice: "That's true, if someone assassinates, you must protect His Highness's carriage and don't act rashly." ā€

Ma Wei nodded to indicate that he understood.

After a while, about the middle of the woods, a large fireball flew over, and sure enough, someone ambushed it.

Li Wei acted quickly, waved her hand and released a ball of light that collided with the fireball accurately, and the sparks scattered in all directions.

"Don't panic, everyone, follow the established steps!"

Li Wei shouted loudly, her voice loud and feminine. Although she is tall and her facial features are not soft enough, and the overall feeling is neutral, her voice is still very good.

The guards surrounded several carriages, facing outwards in a defensive formation, and the horse fence was among them, and Li Wei did not approach any of the carriages.

After a while, no one attacked. Li Wei whispered to everyone: "It is very unfavorable to go on like this, I will go to the front to explore the way, and it is estimated that the brigade is ambushed in front." ā€

"It's better for me to go, in case Lord Li Wei is not there, it will be troublesome if someone comes to besiege him." Ma Wei persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, I'm not going too far." Li Wei said to the horseman, "Don't leave Your Highness's carriage, understand?" ā€

"I understand!"

Although he was a little dissatisfied with being treated as a child, Ma Wei still answered very simply.

Li Wei galloped forward along the road, using a rain of spells and arrows along the way to check if there was an ambush in the woods.

As soon as they walked a certain distance, a group of masked men rushed over from all directions to the guards who had stayed around the carriage, and it turned out that they were planning to divert the tiger from the mountain. However, the rest of the guards are not vegetarians, especially the horse fences......

Ma Wei's body is not strong enough, so his bare hands are not strong, but he is good at using wind spells, and his speed is very fast, perhaps because he has this advantage, so he does not practice power fighting.

Although the level of physical skills is very poor, Ma Wei has a good talent for swordsmanship, and as long as he has a sword in his hand, his melee combat ability will increase significantly.

The figure of the horse fence was seen to move rapidly among the assassins, and in the blink of an eye, several masked men were stabbed to the ground by him, while he also used the wind whip technique to pin down the enemies in the distance. Although he is currently in a state of scuffle, Ma Wei is confident that he will not hurt his own people.

Relying on the excellent performance of the horse fence, it did not take long for the escort side to gain the advantage, and the Assassin side lost the opportunity to win and scattered and retreated.

After a while, Li Wei also returned, although there were special people to deal with her and wanted to drag her down, but those unlucky guys were quickly dealt with.

"How's it going over here?" Li Wei asked.

"Only a few people have minor injuries, do you need to be treated first?" Someone replied.

"No, it's not good to stay here for a long time, and those who don't need treatment should go first. If there is a seriously injured person, just catch up after treatment, and leave a few people to take care of it, there should be no danger. ā€

After the reformation, Li Wei once again commanded the team forward. Walk out of the woods to the outskirts of the Song king's capital, and see five big stones on the side of the road from a distance, steadily smashed into the deep pit on the ground, and recently there was a meteorite in the Song Kingdom.

"This is the rumored meteorite." Li Wei looked at a few strange large rocks and said to Ma Hui.

"It should be, after all, it's an extremely rare celestial phenomenon."

Li Wei saw that Ma Wei was still not too relaxed, and said to the little brother: "Don't be so nervous, when you get to this kind of place, there will be no more danger, and the escort mission can be said to have ended temporarily." ā€

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he also looked at the meteorites, one of which was particularly large, and on the sandy ground not far in front of him, something gave off a gray glow.

It was a small rock, but it gave Ma Wei a very special feeling, as if it was attracting him.

"Master Liwei, do you see that strange gray stone?" The horse pointed to the small stone and said.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and said to Ma Wei: "It's not a mission now, call me sister - it's okay~ Which stone do you say?" I don't see anything special. ā€

Ma Wei thought it was even more strange, so why couldn't he see it? So he proposed to Li Wei, "I'll go and bring the stone to you, Sister Wei." ā€

Li Wei nodded, then added, "Be careful." ā€

The horse ran to the stone, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was a gray hedron, but the stone was smaller than he had imagined, about the size of the meat filling of the Great Chaos.

The boy carefully picked up the gray spar, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and then caught up with the convoy and showed the stone to Li Wei, and the stone still emitted a faint gray glow from the palm of the horse fence through the bhut.

"It's an ordinary spar, and it's not particularly beautiful." Li Wei looked at the stone in surprise.

"No, it's still shining, what should I do with it?" Ma asked the horse.

"How can I not see the light?!" Li Wei thought for a while, "Maybe this stone has something to do with Xiaohuo, since it was found near the meteorite in the Song Kingdom, let's first present it to His Majesty the King of Song, I think it will eventually return to your hands......"
