Chapter 19 Safe Arrival

When the morning comes, the insects and birds in the woodland are singing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wren, who was awakened by Wren, saw that Shaanna was cooking in front of the lit fire while watching Mr. Hovdent in the carriage not far away eating breakfast.

The merchant noticed that Sha'an's eyes were shining at the cheese in his hand, and he looked down at the last piece of dried cheese on the oilcloth paper in his hand, and then at Shaanna, and finally tore half of it, and motioned for the little girl to go and take it.

The little girl stood up and was about to go over, then took two steps and looked back at Mo He. After getting Mo He's nod in agreement, the little girl continued to walk over. The little girl took the cheese from the merchant's hand, and without thanking the other party, she just stuffed it into her mouth, and the palm-sized cheese was stuffed into it in one bite.

Chewing and chewing with a big mouth, and suddenly remembering that she hadn't thanked the other party, the little girl quickly spit out a sentence from the mouth that was stuffed with no gaps: "Uh-uh-uh mud (thank you)"

The kind-hearted merchant, Mr. Hovddenter, was amused by the little girl's appearance, but soon he was dumbfounded.

Shaanna swallowed the cheese in her mouth, her eyes fixed on the last half of the cheese left in the merchant's hand.

Seeing this greedy little guy, Mo He hurriedly called her back: "Shaanna! That was Mr. Hofdent's last ration. You can't take it again. ”

"Oh, yes, Uncle Mohe!" the little girl was still a little reluctant, but the kind Mr. Hofdent had already given herself such delicious food, and she couldn't ask for more. It could be seen that the little girl was trying to fight against the temptation to look back at the dry cheese again, and reluctantly returned to Mo He's side. Mo He touched the little girl's head, and Mr. Hofdent, who was relieved, smiled slightly to express his gratitude, and at the same time apologized. The latter shook his head easily to show that he had not taken it to heart, then put away the last of his food, helped the horse to his feet, and went to check on the horses.

A strange appearance made Mo He's whole person alert, as if he was being targeted by someone, he hurriedly grabbed the silver iron gun next to him and jumped up. After seeing Mo He's reaction, Sha Anna hurriedly squatted down with her head in her hands. Wren ran to Mr. Hofdent with his sword in his hand to protect him.

After a while, nothing moved, but the feeling of being stared at was gone. Mo He was very convinced that his feelings were not wrong, he must have been targeted by some beast or person just now, but now that the other party has not made any trouble, it is better to leave this place quickly.

Half-boiling water doused the fire and covered it with some dirt on the ground, and before Mo He and Wren had time to eat breakfast, they hurriedly escorted the merchant's carriage out of the woods and back to the official road.

Along the way, Mo He let the horses and carriages trot forward, and after rounding a mountain peak, they finally saw the other travelers.

It was two teams of mercenaries, each escorting five wagons. Seeing that they keep their distance from each other, they should just walk together. They had already heard the sound of the horses' hooves coming from Mo He, but after seeing that there were only four people, they let down their guard and continued to escort their goods forward.

Because they weren't familiar with each other, Mo He didn't rush too close to the other party's escort team, but just kept his speed and distance and followed them while looking at each other as he advanced. And the people on the other side also looked at them from time to time.

These two groups of mercenaries were quite numerous, and the team closest to Mo He and them had fifteen people, escorting two carriages. There were three people on horseback, two people driving, and the rest on foot. The equipment was neatly equipped, and the riders wore simple chest guards and red copper armor, and the rest of the men also wore leather armor. Weapons were spears, swords, and bows. The carriages escorted were each drawn by two horses, and were much larger than Mr. Hofdent's two small carriages of grain. The goods on the cart were covered with thatch and mats, and it is not clear what they were.

The other team was at the front, and there were twenty-three of them. There were twelve men on horseback, all of them better equipped than the first team, most of them wearing black iron armor, and a few wearing leather armor. Those who wore armor were equipped with a half-length shield and a long iron sword. Those in leather armor carried long bows and short swords at their waists. They escorted a four-headed carriage and two double-headed carriages. The four-headed carriage has a carport, and the style is relatively beautiful, and the carport window is blocked by a curtain, and I don't know who is sitting in the car. The two two-headed carriages that followed, one covered with a tarpaulin, did not know what it contained. In the other lay four large wooden barrels, bound with thick ox tendon ropes, on which a driver sat and two archers guarded the surroundings.

Looking at such a posture, even if they encounter yesterday's gang of bandits, they have the strength to fight, which makes Mohorren and Hovdent breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the map, it should be the road leading to White Rock City now, and if you keep going like this, it shouldn't be a big problem to arrive safely.

By noon, the sun was getting bigger, and the three groups of people had a tacit understanding to rest together at the foot of a mountain in Beiyang. Mo He and Ren didn't know when the other party would leave, and it was not convenient to light a fire and cook for the time being, so they could only fill their hunger with water, get off the horse and rest, and listen to these mercenaries exchange interesting stories by the way. And the people in the four-headed carriage didn't get out of the carriage to rest, presumably because they didn't want to have too much communication with the mercenaries.

After resting for about an hour, a man wearing a hat, a black gauze cover, and a black robe came to the road. This man was extremely thin and light, and his steps were not large, but they were extremely fast, and he soon came to the place where the mercenaries were resting.

The man brought a small baggage, two katanas, and a pair of clogs on his feet. That's right, it's the katana and geta from the world of Mo He's previous life. Mo He didn't expect to encounter these things in this world, and the hat on the other party's head is also very similar to the chivalrous people mentioned in the novel. This made Mo He pay special attention to this person.

But the others, including Mr. Wren and Mr. Hofddent, only took a cursory look at the man when he appeared, and then stopped paying attention. Could it be that people dressed up like this are just ordinary solo travelers to them?

Mo He kept staring at that person. The loose black robe concealed the delicate and thin body inside, and for some reason, Mo He always felt this way. Because the hat and black yarn blocked his face and couldn't see it clearly, he just guessed that the other party might be a woman.

Suddenly, the other party looked at himself! Although it was separated by a black veil, Mo He just knew that the other party was looking at him. That feeling is so familiar, but I haven't thought about it for the time being, it is indeed very rude for him to stare at each other like this. Mo He smiled at the other party and apologized, then diverted his attention and continued to listen to the other mercenaries chatting.

Although it looked like he was listening to the mercenary chatting on the surface, in fact, Mo He had been recalling the familiar feeling just now. It felt close, yes, the feeling of being watched early this morning. It should be this person. It should not be weak for a single traveler to dare to walk around so alone. This made Mo He pay a little attention to the other party's thoughts.

After another half an hour's rest, a male voice in the four-headed carriage urged him to leave, and the others followed suit. And the black-robed man with a hat dragged behind Mo He and them at the end. Mo He asked Wren to protect Hofdent and Shaanna in front, while he rode to the back of the car to guard the actions of the black-robed man with a hat.

After walking for several hours, a team of cavalry with bright armor, oily weapons and tall horses rode on. The armor style is the style of the Ryon Empire army, and the coat of arms on the chest of the armor is the same as the coat of arms on the pennant held by the flag bearer in front of them. Mo He didn't have any artistic cells, his first impression of this heraldic pattern was a rooster, but then he denied it, maybe it was a phoenix.

This armored cavalry team saw Mo He and their group of mercenaries and took the initiative to lean over. The leader of their team talked to the leader of the mercenary group at the front here, and then made way for the mercenaries to pass, and after Mo He and them passed, this armored cavalry team continued to ride in the direction where Mo He and they came. During this time, Mo He noticed that Wren paid special attention to these armored soldiers, and when he passed by them, he seemed to bow his head to show humility, but in fact he was hiding that he was secretly observing them.

These are official patrols, and encountering them indicates that this place is not far from the city. Sure enough, in the evening, the stone gate of White Rock City, with four watchtowers on the left and right, appeared in front of him.

It was a blessing that Mr. Hoferdent was finally escorted safely to his destination, and everyone was fine.
