Chapter 22: The Same Path

The three brothers and sisters of the Mo family looked out in the forest, and saw a group of knights in black armor galloping across the road outside the forest, and the number of people was too large to count. The three of them had lived in the mountains for a long time, and they had never seen such a formation, so they decided to wait for these people to pass before leaving the forest.

As soon as this group of knights left, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from a distance, and it didn't take long for another group of knights in identical costumes to come, and the number of knights was too numerous to count.

In this way, more than a dozen groups of knights passed one after another, and the outside of the forest finally quieted down.

"Who are these people?" Mo Min asked softly.

"I don't know. But as far as I can guess, they should be the sergeants of the Swiss Kingdom. Mo Cong replied in a low voice.

"Shall we go out now?" Mo Min asked again.

"Wait a minute, there are still people behind, let's go out when they are all gone, so as not to frighten others or cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Mo Cong said.

The people of this forest they are in are called the Ghost Forest, and the common people say that there are ghosts in this forest, and after entering, the ghosts hit the wall and the ghosts on their upper bodies cry wolves, and then they can't get out. So for many years, this forest has been a forbidden place that no one dares to disturb, and if they really go out in front of others with such a swagger, it will be a bit shocking, it will not only scare others half to death, but also cause a lot of trouble and inconvenience to themselves, and all kinds of curious inquiries about ghosts alone are enough for them.

The three of them waited for a while, and sure enough, another group of people came, more than just now, and the rumbling was not over for a long time.

"My lord, Your Majesty won't have any bad intentions in summoning us back to Beijing this time, right?"

"Probably not. Our left guard has always been loyal, and it is a victorious army, and Your Majesty should not do anything to us. ”

"Oh, then why did Your Majesty only summon three battalions of brothers back to Beijing, but left the other nine battalions on the side of the Northern Route Army?"

"Isn't it the Long Kingdom that is making a fuss? Your Majesty temporarily left them in the Northern Route Army, probably because he was afraid that Murong Kuo would suddenly kill us and catch us off guard. ”

......

Outside the forest, a few knights were talking while galloping on horseback, and these words were heard word for word in the ears of the three brothers and sisters of the Mo family.

"These people seem to be going to the capital too. After they passed, Mo Min whispered.

"Hehe, I'm worried that I can't find my way to the capital, so let's follow them. Mo Cong said with a smile.

"Can you go out now?" asked Mo Min.

"Well, there's no one behind it. Mo Cong nodded.

The three of them came out of the forest and walked along the trail and breath of the horses.

The place they had just passed through was deserted, and the speed of the three of them was very fast, if it wasn't for the deliberate reservation, they would have already surpassed the knights in front. Later, there were some villages and small towns along the way, and the three of them slowed down and slowed down to avoid shocking the world, and it was no different from ordinary people walking.

At noon, the three of them walked to a small town, and they wanted to find a place to eat, but unfortunately they had no money on them. Mo Xiao's big wooden barrel still had some dry food, but they didn't want to eat just dry food.

"What the hell am I going to do, I'm dying of hunger. Mo Min muttered as he walked.

"Bear with it. Mo Cong said, "Out of this town, if there is a place to chop firewood and hunt in front, let's chop some firewood to get some prey, and exchange some entanglements with the people along the way." ”

Mo Min could only think about it. The food under the mountain is not as good as on the mountain, and everything has to be bought with money. They had no money on them, and they couldn't rob them, so they had to endure it first.

The three of them hurried on an empty stomach, and when they passed an open-air wine shop, there was a group of people drinking and bragging.

"You see the cavalry hurrying on their way, I guess they are going to the capital to receive the reward?" said a young man.

"People have just won the battle, and they should receive some rewards. A middle-aged uncle said: "It is not easy for these soldiers to fight at the border pass. You don't know how dangerous the battlefield is. More than ten years ago, when I went to the Giant Spirit Pass to deliver food, I saw it with my own eyes, it was really a white knife going in and a red knife coming out, and I don't know how many people would die after a day of fighting. Sometimes this person is still eating with you at noon, and at night he has become a corpse. ”

"Well, I heard that those Xianbei people in Longguo are very fierce, and they don't even blink their eyes when they kill people. It's really good that our army can defeat those murderers. Such a hero deserves a reward. ”

......

Everyone was gossiping.

From the discussions of these ordinary people, the Mo family brothers and sisters learned that the black-armored knights in front of them were the central army of the Rui Kingdom, and they had just repelled the invasion of the Long Kingdom on the northern border and fought a big victory.

"Big brother, it seems that those black-armored cavalry are just like us, and they are also protecting the common people. Mo Cong listened to these discussions, and whispered as he hurried.

Mo Xiao looked at the winding road ahead and nodded.

In this way, the three brothers and sisters followed the traces left by those black-armored cavalry, and when they encountered a deserted place, they accelerated their speed, and when they passed through villages and towns, they slowed down, and they always maintained a distance not far from the army in front of them. If they came across a place where they could chop wood and hunt on the way, they would get some firewood, hunt some wild boars and hares and other prey, and exchange some scattered silver taels with the people along the way.

Those Swiss cavalry marched within their own territory, and the scout troops were not sent so much, plus Mo Xiao, Mo Cong, and Mo Min were sensitive to their senses and body like electricity, as long as they hid their whereabouts a little, those scouts could only see the wind blowing the leaves, falling grass and trees moving slightly, so they walked all the way down, and they were not discovered at all.

After walking like this for more than ten days, the three brothers and sisters have arrived in Jialong Province in the central part of Ruiguo. It was on the morning of this day that the army in front suddenly stopped in Jialong Province and did not leave.

"What's the matter? Didn't they say they were going back to the capital? Why did they stop here?" Mo Min said in surprise as he looked at the army that was encamped.

These days, the three brothers and sisters are completely following the rhythm of this army in a hurry, people are camped, the three of them follow to rest, people pull out the camp and march, the three of them follow the road. After more than ten days of following, the three brothers and sisters already had a considerable degree of understanding of the work and rest of this army, but at this time, they saw that they suddenly stopped and did not leave, and they were suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Maybe they're on the move. Mo Cong said, "It's already very good that people have taken us so far." Let's take the rest of the way by ourselves. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Mo Min nodded.
