Chapter 12: Hidden Worries

In the early morning, the morning star is twinkling, and the sky is slightly revealing the white of the fish's belly.

A group of people quietly walked out of the west of the village.

The long street was silent, and no one went out to see them off.

However, the group turned around the hill ahead. All of a sudden, the whole village ran out and crowded to the entrance of the village to look into the distance. The suppressed crying began to spread through the crowd.

There were a total of ten people in the team that traveled far away, first Lin Mufan, who was a black armor and black horse, and then followed by the soldiers of Duntou Village. Headhunter Sang Quan held the tail of the team.

Lin Mufan will take the soldiers of Duntou Village to Qingshan Town first, hand over to the town's soldiers, and then ride back to Junhu City to hand over the order.

It is about 100 miles to Qingshan Town, and it can be reached in one day with the lowest level of foot strength of 6 in the team.

The big black horse galloped slowly, and the nine people behind followed and ran with their bodies lowered. A cloud of yellow smoke rolls up on the rough road.

Along the way, no one in the team spoke, and everyone had a heavy face.

After running for a while, Lin Mufan saw that the atmosphere was quite dull, took out his war knife, knocked the handle of the knife on the saddle bridge, and closed the rhythm of running. Suddenly he sang in a loud voice:

"Ten thousand people are united, Taiyue can be shaken.

Only loyalty and righteousness, angry bullfighting.

Da Chu treats me better than my parents;

Violating military orders and not being free.

The command is clear, the reward and punishment must be believed,

Who dares to stay late?"

The singing voice is clumsy, and the rhythm is very simple.

After singing it again, the nine people who ran also sang to the rhythm. At first, the voice was chaotic, but gradually I breathed together, and the more I sang, the more neat it became, and the more I sang, the louder it became.

The emotions of the crowd gradually became excited.

Gu Wen ran in the middle and back of the team, and was infected by this singing, and also sang loudly.

It's strange to say, after singing such a song and running for several hours, I can't breathe anymore, and I don't see any tiredness under my feet.

At noon, the team rested at a gentle point in a stream.

Gu Wen took out the steamed cakes made in advance, sandwiched them with special meat floss and distributed them to everyone.

Lin Mufan took a bite, only to feel that there was a raw jin under his tongue, compared with the coarse, dry, cold, hard, and tasteless military food he usually ate, it was a world away. After nibbling a few times in succession, he sent it down with a pot of boiling spring water, and he couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. Sigh:

"Brother Gu, you really have nothing to say about your cooking skills. I think you'll be the captain of the gang soon. ”

Gu Wen suddenly remembered the line in his heart: "The overlord among beggars is still a beggar." But he was modest.

Lin Mufan couldn't help but say: "Brother Gu, if your martial arts talent is half of this cooking skill, no, a quarter, plus your 'killing' bloodline, you will definitely be able to break through a world in the army." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Gu Wen smiled: "Talent is such a thing, some things that you don't have are not decided by yourself, and what you can decide is only your own acquired efforts." ”

Lin Mufan nodded and said, "Reasonable." In fact, I am a side branch of the Lin family in Luoyang City, when I was 17 years old, many teenagers in the main sect broke through level 30 and became elite warriors, and I had just reached level 11. ”

As a result, he was assigned by the family to Junhu City as a herald pawn, if it weren't for the Lin clan's signboard, it was estimated that he would be sent to a small town as a miscellaneous soldier. ”

"But I didn't give up, I fought the battlefield for so many years, and now I am a level 20 high-level professional warrior. A few days ago, I fought against the demon beast group in Dawu Mountain, and I felt that the bottleneck of level 21 had been loosened. ”

"One day, I will be promoted to an elite warrior and then apply to be transferred back to Luoyang. ”

Lin Mufan confidently recounted his history of struggle, looked at Gu Wen again, and said with a smile:

"Brother Gu, with your cooking skills, you will be able to gain a foothold in a big city like Luoyang in a few years, but it is much faster than me. ”

Gu Wen shook his head with a smile and said, "Life acrobatics can only be auxiliary in the end. The Great Chu State respects martial arts, even if I go to Dacheng to become a cook, and a chengguan squad leader kills me by mistake, he will be sentenced to exile at most. ”

Lin Mufan suddenly remembered something, and said: "Brother Gu, I know the magic of your 'killing' bloodline, as long as you have the right opportunity, you will definitely be able to soar into the sky." ”

"But first, you don't have clan power, and second, the bloodline awakening is incomplete, and there will be no special order from the state to protect you. In villages and towns, others don't know that this blood is precious. Above the small city, you must not expose the fact that you are the child of the bloodline. ”

Gu Wen's heart froze and asked, "Why?"

"Although I have average talent, I have lived in Luoyang Dacheng and know some secrets. Above the small town, there are two major organizations, and they like to deal with the children of the Han family who have awakened their bloodlines like you. ”

"One is the Bloodline Science Research Institute, which is a semi-official organization that studies how to stimulate the power of human bloodlines, non-natural atavism. You know scientists are mostly crazy. They always like all kinds of temptations for the sons of the Han family's bloodline to participate in research. Once you're in, hehe, less than one percent will make it out alive. ”

Guan Dazhuang listened to it on the side, and interjected: "What about the rest of the people?"

Lin Mufan said with a smile: "The others have all made outstanding contributions to human development and are immortal." ”

Gu Wen felt a chill and asked, "What about the other one?"

"The other is even more powerful, called the 'Bloodline Utilization Research Group', commonly known as 'Vampires', which is a civil organization, in fact, the clan and the gang forces are evenly divided. This gang is unscrupulous, directly capturing the children of the bloodline through gangsters and underground mercenaries. ”

"You, a powerless and powerless son with no backing, are their favorite. Even the bloodline sons of some small families will disappear inexplicably. ”

Guan Dazhuang asked: "Bloodline utilization, what kind of utilization method is it?"

Lin Mufan sneered: "It's just to find a way to extract your bloodline and convert it to the children of rich and powerful families, artificial geniuses." ”

Guan Dazhuang glanced at Gu Wen, who had a gloomy face, and asked, "Is this okay?" What will happen to the person whose bloodline has been extracted?"

Lin Mufan looked at his fingers and said, "The teacher in the clan once said that bloodline is not only related to blood, but also involves the soul. If you extract blood, you will become an idiot at best, and if you are heavy, of course, you will die. ”

"Damn, this is called light?" Gu Wen was speechless.

"It is said that the recipient of the bloodline transformation needs to match the person being extracted in terms of blood and soul in order to succeed. There was less than one of the ten times I was able to smoothly accept the bloodline. Fortunately, if it is not successful, it only needs to be removed through purification surgery, and there is not much damage. ”

"Our family has the eldest grandson of Elder Taishang, who originally had a talent similar to mine. When he was 10 years old, he went out to 'travel', and suddenly said that he had awakened the 'Nightmare' bloodline, and then he soared into the sky, and now he is estimated to be a school officer in the Royal Guard. ”

"Hmph! Our Lin family's ancestors are the 'green pine' bloodline of the wood lineage, how can there be an awakening of the dark bloodline? Everyone knows it. ”

When Lin Mufan said this, he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, the fact that Brother Gu is the son of the bloodline is not allowed to be mentioned by everyone from now on." If I hear any rumors, I will never spare him. ”

Everyone in Duntou Village agreed, but only Sang Quan's eyes wandered and his expression was uncertain.

Gu Wen secretly complained, in order to cover up his talent of 'stealing beams and changing pillars', he used the 'killing' bloodline in the book to cover up. As a result, one lie has to be covered up with more lies. This has become a big problem.

It's just that the others are fellow villagers in the same village, Zhu Guangding is young, and he was frightened by Lin Mufan, so he didn't dare to use any crooked brains for the time being.

Only this power has always been the character that the whole world owes me, and I often do things that harm others and are not beneficial to myself. But you need to be on guard.

Gu Wen secretly made up his mind in his heart to pay attention to this matter from time to time, if the wind direction is not right, he must find an opportunity to get rid of Sang Quan first, which is called risk control.

As he spoke, everyone finished shriveling, packed up neatly and continued to set off...

A group of people ran quickly singing military songs, and arrived at Qingshan Town in less than two hours.

Qingshan Town is much more magnificent than Duntou Village. There are about two miles in a radius and tens of thousands of families live. The bluestone wall has towering watchtowers at all corners.

The recruit camp is just outside the south gate, fenced with miscellaneous wood, and divided into two areas.

To the east is a town army of 500 people, with a minimum rank of 10 minions and a professional soldier of 15 or above at the squad and platoon level. The military appearance is neat, and the atmosphere is calm.

To the west, there were recruits from the villages, about 8 or 9 hundred, mostly hunters of level 8 to 10.

This group of country men didn't know any discipline, a group of three, a group of five, and the Zhang family, Li Jiaxiao, chatted casually. There are also some people who travel widely, wandering around and looking for people they know is a fool's errand. It was as noisy as thousands of ducks, and the scene was chaotic.

Lin Mufan handed over the nine people from Duntou Village to the recruit officer at the gate of Xiying, handed over a copy of the military certificate, and returned to the city to hand over the order.

The recruit recruit is a native of Qingshan Town, with nostrils facing the sky, and after a few words of explanation, he called a helper to lead people into the camp.

Gu Wen and the others were taken to a tent to settle down. The gang hung a small flag on the gray tent, on which the words "Duntou Village" were written crookedly with black charcoal.

After a while, several headhunters from neighboring villages came to meet, and Sang Quan came forward as a headhunter to deal with it. Helplessly, Sang Quan was really not very popular, and a few headhunters left after chatting a little.

Before leaving, someone said hello to Shi Xiong and the others. There is also a middle-aged headhunter who knows Gu Wen's father, Gu Yong, who specially chatted with Gu Wen for a few words, shook his head and sighed and left. Sang Quan's face became even more gloomy.

Gu Wen didn't have time to pay attention, found someone to ask where to draw water and set up the stove, went to bury the pot to cook, and soon entered the role of a glorious man.
