Chapter Seventy-Six: On the Road
Mu Hibiscus checked left and right with Zhuo Feng all the way, carefully investigated, and made a short stop on the first hill before moving closer to the second mountain. Along the way, more than twenty men in black were well-trained and unrelenting.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Chi Dai followed behind Excellence and Windless.
"My lord, how can we be with them?" Ao Dai looked puzzled, she had always thought that Wuxin and Zhuo Feng would go with them, but she didn't expect it to be these two iceberg people.
Mu Xiaoxiao felt the same as anyone else, but Wufeng didn't follow Mu Hibiscus, she really didn't expect it. She looked at the six carriages behind her, two of which were filled with raised jewelry, and four of which were filled with grain and grass. This number of people does not look large, although they are all officers and soldiers, but Heshan is a mountain all the way, I don't know if if they meet a big bandit, these 300 people can hold on.
The three-person pioneer team who went to check it came back and said a few words to Wufeng Wufeng turned his head and said, "There is a forest ahead, let's rest there, don't be alone." With that, he took the lead and ran on horseback.
The group set up a fire in the grove, took out water bags from their luggage, replenished water, filled their stomachs, and changed guards with the people standing guard, these people were well-trained and unhurried, and Mu Xiaoxiao's nervousness suddenly dissipated a lot.
There was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, everyone looked nervously at the source of the sound, and a man in black turned over and dismounted and said: "My lord, the front is safe, after two mountains, there is a military station, please go here to rest." ”
After hearing his return, Excellence waved his hand and motioned for him to stand down.
The group continued on their way, passed the first hill, and walked for about an hour, when twilight fell, and the sky was lit up with stars. Mu Xiaoxiao felt that her ass was about to crack, and after making countless adjustments, she finally arrived at the post station.
The post station was already brightly lit, and when they got off the horse, someone led the horses to the stable, and Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the wind and ordered the rules of the night shift, and then went upstairs to freshen up.
Mu Xiaoxiao and Ao Dai finished freshening up in the room, and went downstairs, the first batch of resting men were already eating and drinking, and she walked straight to Wufeng's side: "I'm on the third shift, I'm idle anyway." ”
"No, I'm going to change shifts in the middle of the night. Wufeng looked at her: "You have never liked to ride horses, and today you must be very tired, so you ......"
"Don't be tired!" Before he could finish speaking, Mu Xiaoxiao interrupted him: "Since I volunteered, I definitely can't have privileges, and I will be on duty with Dai Dai in the third shift." After she finished speaking, she took a big bite of the steamed bun and took another bite of food.
In the first half of the night, Mu Xiaoxiao and Ao Dai slept quite soundly, originally Mu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed and thinking about Mu Hibiscus and her affairs a little sad, but she was too tired, thinking for a while, she fell asleep unconsciously, and when she was woken up by Ao Dai, it was already the second half of the night.
Now Jingting is early autumn, the two of them went out only to find that it was very windy at night, and Dai Dai ran back to get the cloak, and the two went to the backyard.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that the sky was not polluted, and the scenery was indeed beautiful. The stars shine like diamonds, and the round moon is like a white jade plate, hanging in the sky, coupled with a breeze, quite a chivalrous demeanor.
"What are you thinking?" Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him by the carriage now.
Wufeng looked down at her, Mu Xiaoxiao only felt that there was a bright light flickering in Wufeng's eyes, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
"I just think the night sky here is beautiful. He looked at it for a long time, then looked up at the sky.
Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but laugh at her amorous feelings, she raised her eyes to look at the sky: "It's really beautiful here, and the stars are much brighter than elsewhere. ”
The two stopped talking, they both looked at the sky, and there was gradually a strange atmosphere in the air, but fortunately, the wind was also loud, but it blew away the emotions in Mu Xiaoxin.
If it were her with Hibiscus, the atmosphere would be good, think of Hibiscus...... Mu Xiaoxiao lowered his head, jumped into the carriage, and sat next to the windless.
Wufeng saw that she didn't speak, one hand was propped up on her face, and then thinking of Zhuo Feng's gossip a few days ago, he said in a ghostly way: "Childe has too many bodies that can't help himself." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao saw that he no longer spoke but looked into the distance, and smiled: "You also have too many bodies that you can't help yourself. ”
Wufeng was slightly stunned, glanced at her, Mu Xiaoxiao smiled at him, and the two looked into the distance at the same time.
On the second day, as soon as Zhuo Zhuo took over, the two went back to the room, freshened up and had breakfast, and as soon as the two came out of the station, they saw that the army was ready, she jumped on her horse, and walked forward in a mighty way.
In the afternoon, a group of people arrived at Xiaosuo, which is a big city, with more than 20,000 residents in the city, and I don't know if the weather is too dry, and there is dust everywhere.
A group of people handed over the Guan Wen and successfully entered the rope. At the largest post station, a few people from Wufengmu commanded everyone to replenish dry food, and Zhuo Zhuo led a few people to change the carriage and load the grain, grass and silver, and everyone was ready to go on the road out of the city.
Wufeng waited for a while, looked at the genius and said, "Let's go." “
A group of people are on the road again, Mu Xiaoxiao only feels that this road is calm and a little strange, why are there no robbers and bandits? This is too, right?
Hibiscus's evening star entered the scabbard, and he looked at the dozens of people lying on the ground with a cold face.
"Oops, it hurts me"
"Heroes spare their lives! spare their lives......"
A group of people on the ground were crying and roaring, and Zhuo Feng pointed at the man with only one eye with his sword: "When you see us stay away in the future, let me see you, it's not as simple as breaking an arm!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the man at the head looked frightened, nodded his head, and said yes. The group at the back also nodded.
"Don't get out of here!" Zhuo Feng roared.
A group of people supported each other and fled in a hurry. Zhuo Feng inserted the sword into the scabbard, and then turned to Mu Hibiscus and said, "My lord, we have cleared three waves along the way, fortunately you have thought of such a method, otherwise the team behind will be delayed for a long time to reach Heshan." “
Hibiscus looked in the direction in which the men had fled, and did not speak.
The group of robbers ran to their lair, where dozens of masked girls in white were already waiting, one of them exuding anger, and her beautiful eyes were full of cold color.
"You can't do it if you intercept the military rations, even if you can't do it, at least you have to harass them and delay the delivery of the military rations, how can you provoke them?" The woman's voice was cold and emotionless.
"We didn't plan to attack them in the first place, we just laid an ambush in advance, who knew that they weren't afraid at all, but provoked us!" said the one-eyed brother at the head.
It is really unlucky, he didn't want to take this business, as the saying goes, if a thief wants to live, the official road can't be touched! But the price offered by this woman is too high, full of temptation. There are not only these robbers on the cottage, but also the robbers' parents, wives and children, who are old and young, and they have enough money, so they have to take risks in order not to go hungry. But who knew that he was ambushed in advance and encountered such a group of people with strong martial arts, as soon as he saw that the situation was wrong, he hid in a low-key manner, who knew that these people had nothing to be afraid of. Without saying a word, he took the knife and slashed over. The twenty black-clothed young men didn't want their lives either, just beat them to the ground, couldn't move flexibly, and then let them go!
Thinking of this, his remorseful intestines were blue, this was really a bamboo basket to draw water, and it was empty. Not to mention that the money was not earned, this time the brothers were injured several times, it is really not cost-effective!
"You're just rice buckets!" the woman sounded angry.
"The rice bucket is the rice bucket, Liu San'er, return the girl's silver, we are not in a good position, and we don't have the face to accept her money" One-eyed said helplessly.
A thin man limped to the back hall and placed a small wooden box on the table.
"This is the money you gave, and I haven't touched a penny. Take it back. We don't take this order. One-Eye turned around and prepared to go out.
"Want to go?" The woman's eyes changed, one hand was in the shape of an eagle's claw, and in a flash, she clasped one-eyed's neck, and she used one force, one-eyed's neck was accompanied by a "click" cracking sound, and her head was tilted to the side in an unnatural state.
The remaining five big and three thick men suddenly frightened their legs weak, and even cried loudly, the woman made a look, and a masked woman next to her said, "Don't leave your mouth alive!" As soon as the words fell, the masked women all drew their swords and quickly slashed at the thieves.
"Girl, there are families of these thieves in the backyard of this village, do you need ......?"
The woman thought for a moment and slowly walked out of the door: "Cut the grass and remove the roots", she said lightly.
"Yes!" the men said respectfully.
