Chapter 9: Speculation and Killing
Early in the morning, the sky was still very dark, and Ye Shuo didn't wait for the rest of the people to wake up, put on the ironwood bow on his back alone, put on a brand new border leather armor, clasped his wrists, and carried the money bag at his waist, secretly opened the door, and finally glanced at the group of big men, and silently closed the door.

When the door closed, everyone opened their eyes in unison, looked at the empty bed, tightened the quilt, closed their eyes again, and the silent atmosphere finally turned into a muffled sentence in their hearts.
If you go to the capital of God, you must have a safe journey.
Li Po didn't come to send it, because the county lord took advantage of the night before dawn to take the lead, and there were small pebbles, it was much better not to send them than to send them, he leaned against the wall, watching the convoy blur in front of his eyes.
laughed at himself slightly: "I'm really old, my eyes are sour when I am blown by the wind and sand." ”
At this moment, Li Po leaned against the wall alone, his waist that had never bent over in his life was a little upright, the figure seemed to be a little old in an instant, and when he turned his head, the original sad emotions were swept away, and he shouted arrogantly to the camp below: "Little cubs, all train for Lao Tzu." ”
Then he laughed out loud, and the folds of the smile appeared on his face, as iron-blooded as ever.
............
Nightshimmer rode on a horse, carrying an ironwood bow on his back, with a quiver on his horse, and walking on the official road with more than a dozen guards from the county lord, plus Nightshimmer and several border army elites, a total of more than twenty people escorted two carriages and a wagon carrying supplies.
From time to time, Ye Shuo secretly looked at the carriage, but the window was never opened, which made Ye Shuo a little unhappy, and muttered in his heart: "I have even been to the underworld, Cui Yu is also the number one immortal, you are rare in this world." ”
Then he looked at his palm, and secretly pondered: "I have the mark of Yama, and now if I want to go to the underworld again, I have to save Yin Virtue, Cui Yu said that devouring the soul can be exchanged for Yin Virtue, and the Yama Mark will issue some tasks, but there is no news yet, there is only a knife lying there in the mark, it seems that I can only enter the underworld again if I have enough Yin Virtue." ”
The walking officer looked at the sky, it was already noon, stopped the convoy, rested, Ye Shuo turned over and dismounted, sat with everyone, set up a stove, lit a fire to cook, and from time to time you could see the Taiping County Lord open the car window to look at Ye Shuo's group of soldiers, the curtain was fleeting, but the sharp-eyed Ye Shuo captured this.
This made Night Shuo puzzled, at this time more than twenty people were divided into three waves, Night Shuo sat with several groups of people from the border army chewing dry food and drinking soup, turning his head to look at the last wave of people, that wave of people was the only group of people who did not speak, one of them faintly felt isolated, Night Shuo frowned. No, looking at the looks of other soldiers, it is not isolation, but a kind of respect, a small soldier, so that the other people around him have respect, which makes Ye Shuo think a lot.
After lunch, everyone hurried on the road, along the official road into the mountain road, the mountain road twists and turns, full of bumpy potholes, walking relatively slowly, but for the sake of safety, the mountain road is a necessary choice, everyone can think of it, and the person who wants to take the life of the county lord can also think of it, so everyone walks on the secret road that only the border army knows, no one passes on weekdays, and from time to time there are dry trees falling on the road, and Night Shimmer acts as a porter at any time, trying to speed up the march, because before dark, everyone must find a place where they can set up camp。
Walking, resting, camping, and then setting off, this is the dull rhythm of these days, it has been many days since he left Tianqin City, there are not many ups and downs, and even the cold wind before winter does not disturb everyone much, which makes many people feel that maybe this trip has passed without danger, but Ye Shuo's brows are getting tighter and tighter, and the vigilance from the scout makes him unable to relax, and the details he noticed make Ye Shuo more and more sure of his inner guess.
The soldier who was always on the radar of Nightshimmer was called into the gorgeous carriage from time to time, of course, as the personal soldier of the county lord, it was understandable to explain things, and when the soldier passed in front of Nightshimmer, Nightshimmer smiled and said, "Where is this brother!"
"Below is the guard of General Lin Xiao of the Shendu, who went to the Western Regions with the county lord, and is now the personal guard of the county lord. ”
Nightshimmer nodded, and quickly passed by.
I have to say that after these few days of travel, it is difficult for Ye Shuo to see the respect for that soldier from the group of guards, as if he has perfectly integrated into a group, whether it is from the attitude of others or the temperament of that soldier, it is difficult to see that he ............ Not a military man.
But it was this that made him very strange, and from the conversation just now, Nightshimmer saw a lot.
It stands to reason that as a soldier, the personal guard of the county lord should have been running around, exposed to the wind and sun, and the skin must be rough, looking at the one in front of him, the skin has a brightness that the soldier does not have, and most importantly, there are no calluses on his hands, although he can't figure out anything from his face and voice, but this world can't be scrutinized by common sense, and it is normal to have a way to cover it up.
Nightshimmer squinted at the front of the convoy, it seemed that her guess was correct, but she didn't know what use it would be if she guessed correctly.
There were still a few days of danger, and the surprise was that the road became more and more difficult to walk, and from time to time he passed by the edge of the cliff, and Night Shuo finally got his wish to meet the worldly master who never showed up, it was a middle-aged man in a cyan robe, who only occasionally got out of the car for activities, and stayed in the car the rest of the time, which made Night Shuo have no chance to contact.
As the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, which delayed the trip, the carriage finally gave the order to enter the official road, march quickly, and then find a walkable mountain road.
In Ye Shuo's opinion, although this road is difficult to walk and the journey is slow, it is the safest, and there is undoubtedly a risk of exposure when entering the official road, I don't know what the county lord thinks, so anxious, but he is just a small soldier, he can't influence this decision, he is just planning carefully, after all, he is not a typical border army, he is just a scoundrel who occasionally has a lot of blood, what is the most important? His own life is the most important, at least now, he can't get up in blood.
............
The officer cautiously looked at the official road in front of him, stretched out his hand behind his ear, and two pairs of people and horses quietly poured into the official road, and after confirming the safety nearby, he let the carriage in, and then hurried to walk, Ye Shuo as a scout, and a few border soldiers explored the road in front of him, looking for a suitable mountain road, the sky was getting dark, Ye Shuo and others were still looking for a more ideal road, but if the night really came, it would be more difficult to turn into the mountains and forests, and they could only turn into the nearest relatively gentle road after the difficult choice of the carriage.
The surrounding of the mountain forest was dark, and the dry woods whistled in the cold wind, and Nightshimmer frowned and looked at the dense forest on both sides, listening carefully to the details of the whining sound, and suddenly shouted, "Enemy attack." ”
There was a chill in the wind, and an arrow flew like lightning from the east, towards the carriage......
