Chapter 38: Thoughts

Through a series of pre-preparations by Luo Ming, set off early, sometimes detouring the paths, avoiding pedestrians and towns as much as possible, heating their own food with charcoal, and avoiding leaking news.

Of course, there is also the advice provided by Aya, which can be said to be quite a successful operation.

However, there are limits to such a rush.

Although the horses and coachmen were able to rest at night, the amount of forage and food was limited.

It is important to know that the load of a carriage travels at high speed, which consumes a lot of energy, and the body will be very tired, so the horse must eat its own food.

That's right, it's grain, such as beans and barley, which is important this time, and even replenishes each horse with an egg every day, as well as a spoonful of lard.

If the horses are allowed to eat the grass on the side of the road, it is enough to eat one or two meals, and after a few days, they will collapse to the ground and be completely unable to run, and they will die violently while running.

Just like people, if you call Grant to be a vegetarian for a few days, you are guaranteed to take a few steps and catch your breath, and you are not sure how to deal with ordinary high-level swordsmen.

Three days later, the wagon was running out of food, and there was only enough to hold until tomorrow.

During the lunch break, four people, including the coachman, checked the map - twenty miles east from here, there was a small town.

The town was the intersection of many trade routes, and supplies were basically available here. But there are many people here, which is a disadvantage.

Because Charlotte needed to get back to the territory as soon as possible, they couldn't take a detour. If you don't go far, this town can be said to be the only way to get from Bijin City to the Barony of Miana.

If his cousins wanted to get rid of him, they would have to ambush them here - at least there would be watchers, and when they found their tracks, they would find more people to attack.

"Now there are two options, either we go to the town together, have the two of us to protect us, and go on the road after purchasing the necessities. ”

"The other option is for me, or Granty, to stay here with the two of you, and the rest of the men go to town with the coachman to make purchases, and then come out to meet and go on the road." ”

Granty smiled and said, "What, which one to choose? Don't look at me like this, if you are careful, it is not a big problem to show your head in the carriage and pretend to be a noble lady!"

Isn't it just to avoid danger by being scared and paying a lot of money along the way? Sherlock almost subconsciously stated his choice.

"Of course it'......"

However, a strange feeling suddenly came over him, and he hesitated for a moment.

Why hesitate? Under the gaze of Lockin and Granty, he still thought for a moment.

"If those cousins really want to kill me, even if they avoid it here, they'll still run into the attackers again, right? ”

"Well, it's just a possibility. Luo Ming looked at Sherlock with curious eyes, "What's the matter, Mr. Sherlock?"

Sherlock's eyes wandered slightly: "That... Well, I mean, why don't you take the initiative here! yes, take the initiative!

They wouldn't have expected me to hire a swordmaster...... Oh yes, and a master like Mr. Loming.

Killing the first wave of attackers will not only deter the next attackers, but also declare me back with dignity!

"Hmph, it sounds like there's some truth, and I'm not against it. Luo Ming pretended not to hear his slip of the tongue just now, and snorted with a smile, "However, if we strike now, the second wave of attackers is likely to reformulate their plans and make better preparations, do you think it doesn't matter?"

"I have long understood this truth, and if you choose to be upright, you will naturally have to pay some price for praise and glory - on the other hand, if you can afford to pay the price, you can be upright. ”

As he spoke, Sherlock smiled slyly, "Besides, we basically don't stop all the way ahead, even if they rush to get in front of us, they will be half tired and half dead, how much time do we have to prepare more?"

Although he said that, Luo Ming always felt that he had some other purpose.

"Stupid, he's just sorry for his own efforts!" Aya's voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Distressed pay, you mean reward?" Luo Ming suddenly realized, but he still chose to let Aya continue, which could be regarded as satisfying her little vanity.

Hmph, you can't do without the help of this girl - probably she is like this.

"If you avoid all the attacks along the way, although this young master has not encountered any danger at all, but you have not made a single attack, he will have to take out a knight's collar and give it to you 'for nothing', which looks like a big loss.

Well, he'd rather pay a little more and let you fight hard for the real thingβ€”as if that would reduce your losses.

To put it bluntly, it's emotional spending, but it's naturally a good thing for you. ”

"It's a good thing. Luo Ming grinned, "There is nothing like a battle to show my strength more intuitively, listening to me is not the same thing as seeing is believing, I see if he will be severely shocked, let alone dare to be a little in arrears, maybe he will pay me a little more in order to win me over - it would be great if he could really do that." ”

For example, if you read a novel, you can throw fireballs, swing a knife to break mountains and rivers, and even play with the multiverse, omniscient and omnipotent and other plots. Many people just yawn when they look at it - it's a masterpiece to be able to get your blood boiling.

However, witnessing a bloody brawl in reality is likely to have a stronger impact on people than the above.

Witnessing a person being hit by a car and flying away, the flesh and blood are blurred, normal people will have weak hands and feet, and those with poor psychological tolerance will even fall into a coma on the spot.

The master smashed the bluestone with one palm, and the second master swung his sword to pick up the fallen flowers back to the branches, and the words he actually saw seemed to be more clever than the mysterious and mysterious in any martial arts novel, and even to the realm of Xianxia.

Of course, Luo Ming would not doubt that Sherlock had ever seen murder, and it is not surprising that the noble heir in this world has practiced with death row prisoners himself. But there is no small difference between crushing and slaying a group of enemies and executing one or two prisoners.

It is with absolute violence, tearing and shattering the enemy, and the onlooker will either be intimidated or will be hooked on the aesthetics of violence. As for the person concerned, if you don't have the best state of mind to send and receive, you can easily be infected by the act of fighting and killing, and become bloodthirsty or ruthless.
