Chapter 55: The Border
It was said that Mu Xiaofeng rushed to the convoy in front of him, and saw that the guards of the convoy were already a little physically exhausted under the attack of the robbers. At this time, one of the guards shouted to the robbers: "Our convoy is only escorting ordinary people, and there is no money for you, so let us go." ”
The guard's shouting did not make the robbers in front of him retreat, but made them surround them tighter, and one of the robbers replied to the guard: "Who believes! You are ordinary people, the men will go back to the cottage for me to be slaves, and the women will take them back to play with our eldest brother. This robber obviously wouldn't let go of these people in front of him no matter what, which made Mu Xiaofeng hear it, and his heart was also angry.
Mu Xiaofeng rushed in front of the robber with one arrow step, and a heavy sword crossed the middle of the robber and the convoy. At this time, Chen Jianba also caught up and stood with Mu Xiaofeng.
A robber saw that Mu Xiaofeng was still a child, so he was very disdainful and shouted: "The nosy little hairy boy from there." With that, he rushed towards Mu Xiaofeng with a machete. I saw Mu Xiaofeng fight hard, this Mu Xiaofeng's strength was not an ordinary child, so he directly shook the robber out.
At this time, the robbers were stunned by Mu Xiaofeng's child, they didn't expect Mu Xiaofeng to have such strength, but they didn't plan to retreat, but rushed up, planning to defeat Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba together. But where were they the opponents of Mu Xiaofeng and the others, they were beaten one by one, and then they all fled.
Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba saved the convoy, and then went to check on the injuries of the convoy.
At this time, the Blood Spirit Zifeng and the others also rushed here, and Qiao Zi saw that there were many wounded, so he got out of the car and gave these wounded herbs to let them recover.
At this time, a guard walked up to Mu Xiaofeng and Chen Jianba and thanked them, and Chen Jianba asked this person curiously at this time, "Man, where are you going?" ”
The guard shook his head, with a distressed look, and then replied, "We are peasants near the royal capital, and we are now planning to cross the King's Mountain Range to live somewhere else. ”
When Mu Xiaofeng heard this guard say this, he also felt strange. Although the royal capital is prosperous, most of the villages near the royal capital are dilapidated and depressed, and it stands to reason that it is normal for them to want to leave their villages.
"Is life hard near the royal capital? I think the royal capital is very prosperous! Mu Xiaofeng asked this guard, he wanted to know more about the situation near the royal capital.
"We could barely get by, but we were so oppressed by those bureaucrats that we couldn't stand it anymore that we decided to move out. It's not good to move away, it's easy to meet robbers on the road, nine out of ten people are dead, and those who are afraid of death don't want to move away, and they stay near the royal capital. ”
It seems that although the royal capital is prosperous, the people near the royal capital are not doing well, Mu Xiaofeng decided to return to the royal capital one day, and he must take the king out to see the hard work of the people near the royal capital.
Mu Xiaofeng and his entourage have finished helping this convoy, and the two teams will be separated after walking together for a while, and the people in the convoy will go southwest, because the southwest is the territory of Junguo. And Mu Xiaofeng, they want to continue westward, over the King Mountain Range, they will soon be able to reach the junction of Junguo and the Beast Clan.
This group of people walked until it was dark, and finally arrived at the border of Junguo, because they left Junguo as an envoy, so Mu Xiaofeng and his party lived in the military camp on the border. The military camp on this border is guarded by a general of Junkoku, who is said to have been stationed on this border for more than twenty years and has never returned home.
Mu Xiaofeng and his entourage came to the military camp on the border, the first thing they wanted to do was to meet the general, the blood spirit Zifeng took Mu Xiaofeng and them, and then walked into the general's tent with their documents.
The general sat behind a curtain, reviewed the documents, and then shouted to Mu Xiaofeng and his party: "Is this Mu Xiaofeng among you from the twin towns in the northeast of Junguo?" ”
As soon as Mu Xiaofeng heard this general talking about himself, after all, the Mu family was only famous in the northeast region of Junguo, and it was not a famous big family in the country, he was very curious about how this general knew about the Mu family.
Mu Xiaofeng stepped forward and replied: "Uncle General is right, I am Mu Xiaofeng, from Twin Town. ”
The general laughed after listening to Mu Xiaofeng's answer, then walked out of the curtain and looked at Mu Xiaofeng. Mu Xiaofeng was shocked when he saw this person, because this person looked too similar to Mu Xiaofeng's father, Mu Taigu, and this person should be Mu Taisu who Mu Taigu had mentioned to Mu Xiaofeng before, Mu Xiaofeng's uncle.
Mu Xiaofeng immediately knelt down when he saw Mu Taisu, bowed and bowed, and then said: "I didn't expect that the general guarding the border was my uncle, and the first time I saw my uncle, I thought it was my father coming." ”
Mu Taisu also knew that Mu Xiaofeng was his nephew, but he never went back to see Mu Xiaofeng, but only heard about Mu Xiaofeng in his letters. Seeing his nephew for the first time today, Mu Taisu also shed tears of excitement and kept asking about the situation at home.
The two chatted for a while, and Mu Taisu arranged for other people to stay and eat, but he left Mu Xiaofeng by his side and stayed in his tent, it seems that the uncle and nephew are going to talk all night.
Mu Xiaofeng stayed in the tent, but it made Zhang Wenyu feel bored, Zhang Wenyu and Mu Xiaofeng could chat a few words, and now that Mu Xiaofeng is gone, Zhang Wenyu is also hanging out in the barracks. The barracks where Zhang Wenyu is located belongs to the rest area, which is a place where the past envoys or soldiers who change the guard rest, and Zhang Wenyu can't go to other places.
Just as Zhang Wenyu was wandering, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Wenyu, startling Zhang Wenyu, and then quickly retreated several steps. Zhang Wenyu carefully observed the person in front of him, and he found that he knew this person, and the person in front of him was the uncle that Mu Xiaofeng had also met before.
Zhang Wenyu didn't feel any murderous aura from this uncle, so he relaxed, and then opened his mouth to ask, "Aren't you the teacher in the cabin?" How did you end up here? "This uncle told Mu Xiaofeng that he would not hurt Zhang Wenyu, it seems that he must have something to tell Zhang Wenyu when he came this time.
When the uncle saw Zhang Wenyu, he first greeted him, and then spread out his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and he slowly told Zhang Wenyu: "Zhang Wenyu, now you are about to enter the territory of the beast clan." You must be very careful after entering the territory of the beasts, as soon as you enter the territory of the beasts, you must quickly contact the people of the wolf clan, they will protect you. ”
Zhang Wenyu felt a little inexplicable when he heard his uncle say this, because Zhang Wenyu didn't know why he was in danger, and he didn't know where the wolf clansmen were.
Zhang Wenyu asked the uncle: "Teacher, why am I in danger?" I just felt like I was so excited that I couldn't sleep. ”
The uncle looked at Zhang Wenyu, then smiled slightly, and then the uncle's words made Zhang Wenyu's whole person go crazy, "Then let me tell you more exciting news, your father is in the territory of the beast clan." After finishing speaking, the uncle disappeared in a flash and disappeared, leaving only Zhang Wenyu who was in a daze.
Zhang Wenyu didn't know where his father went since he was a child, and he has always lived with his mother. But his mother never complained that his father had abandoned him, and always told Zhang Wenyu that his father was a very great person.
Zhang Wenyu has always had mixed feelings for his father because of this, first, he is very in awe of his father, and second, he also has a trace of resentment because he has not seen his father for many years.
However, Zhang Wenyu was still very excited when he learned the news that his father was in the territory of the beast clan, and he immediately returned to his tent, at this time Mu Xiaofeng had already returned to the tent, and he should also come back to prepare to rest.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at the suppressed smile on the corner of Zhang Wenyu's mouth, and asked with a smile: "I've never seen you so happy, and honestly confessed what good things you picked up." ”
This Zhang Wenyu told Mu Xiaofeng everything before, and after Mu Xiaofeng heard Zhang Wenyu finish speaking, he fell into deep thought, and then said in surprise: "Zhang Wenyu, your father can't be an orc, right?" But if your father is really an orc, then it makes sense that you sometimes go berserk. ”
Zhang Wenyu also thought about it carefully, according to Mu Xiaofeng's statement, Zhang Wenyu's father was very likely to be an orc, but this made Zhang Wenyu a little difficult to accept, after all, he never considered that his father was an orc.
Zhang Wenyu and Mu Xiaofeng also did not discuss this topic in depth, after all, it was meaningless to discuss this issue before meeting Zhang Wenyu's father. The two of them chatted for a while and then closed their eyes and went to sleep, it seemed that they were tired after a day's journey.
The two of them slept for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and then the noise of people woke up Mu Xiaofeng and Zhang Wenyu. The two men got up and walked out of the tent to see that there were many injured people outside the tent, but these people seemed to be just civilians, and it seemed that they had fled from somewhere.
This Mu Xiaofeng took a closer look, saw the guard who had been saved before in the crowd, and walked forward to ask the guard about the situation. The guard told Mu Xiaofeng while crying, "The beast clan in the southwest region has suddenly attacked, we have no choice but to run this way, and we have encountered a group of robbers on the way, and only me is the only one left who died in our original convoy." ”
