Chapter 355 [Night Walking]

This incident had a peculiar effect on Gu Le, and early the next morning, Gu Le ordered the team to set off early.

When leaving the town, be on strict guard along the way. Chen Daolin saw that Gu Le seemed to have used the marching method in the army, and specially sent two samurai to do outposts in front to investigate, and several samurai were arranged on both sides of the surrounding area to respond.

The tension in the team immediately increased. And Chen Daolin ...... Although he was put on a pair of mage shackles by Gu Le, he just sat on the horse and leisurely nibbled on a piece of snack for breakfast, looking at Gu Le's nervous appearance, and secretly slandered in his heart.

Gu Le's words were also much less, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with Chen Daolin, his eyes always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and after leaving the town, he walked quickly along the main road in the direction of the imperial capital.

In the carriage, Ade, who was tied into a zongzi, looked helplessly at the holy knight who was also tied into a zongzi.

"Your Excellency...... We're going to be taken back to the imperial capital?"

"Humph......"

"That...... The mission given to us by His Majesty the Pope has not been completed, is this really possible?"

"Humph......"

"My lord, do you think we should find a way to escape while we are off tonight?"

"Humph......"

"It's just that if we run away, will we punish us if we leave that darling behind and go back to His Majesty the Pope?"

"Humph......"

"My lord, I'm talking to you! Why do you keep humming?"

“...... The wound hurts!"

The poor young priest was desperate in his heart, looked out the window of the carriage, and suddenly saw Chen Daolin riding with Gu Le, looking at Chen Daolin as if he was bowing his head and pondering something, Ade sighed in his heart.

It seems that Lord Montoya is unreliable!

Alas, although I hate this guy very much, I still cannot give up the sacred mission entrusted by His Majesty the Pope! For the great cause of the revitalization of the Church, my generation will not give up even if it is to go to the soup and fire!

Tonight!Well, it's tonight!, fighting for the little mana that he secretly condensed for a day and a night. At night, while the guards are sleeping, they can break free from the rope.

Even if you risk your life, you have to find a way to escape with Darling!

If you really can't do it, take a horse and let Mr. Darling go first!

Ade gritted his teeth, and his face couldn't help but show a generous expression, and he imagined infinitely how he saved Darling from the enemy's den tonight with his courage and wit, how he gave up his only horse to Darling to ride first in the face of the pursuers, and how he faced the enemy pursuers like a mountain of swords and fires, and how he calmly accepted death as if he were home...... Thinking about it. Ade was almost moved to tears by his own nobility.

It was at this time......

Gu Le: "Huh, Darling, don't you look tired after a day of riding? It seems that you are in good shape, no better than those weak magicians." Hmph, looks like I'm going to have to be careful with you. Someone's coming...... Put a rope on Master Darling!"

Chen Daolin: "Ah? Don't do it, Gu Le! You see I'm just a young mage, where do I have any ability! You have sealed my magic power! You see, those two church guys are the real masters! One is a holy knight, and the other is a priest, in fact, he is still a marksman." The force is not weak! I have to tie them up, I am harmless to humans and animals!"

Ade: I must have had a brain break!!!

......

After a day of walking on the main road, nothing happened, and it was close to the time when the sun went down. Seeing that he had missed the camp, Gu Le had no choice but to order the team to rest in the wilderness.

The roadside coincided with a sparse forest, so Gu Le ordered the team to stop and rest at the edge of the forest, and assigned people to feed the horses and chop firewood for vigilance. Gu Le sent a few people to go deep into the forest to investigate and find that there was nothing abnormal, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you seem to be afraid of?" Chen Daolin looked at Gu Le's silent and stern appearance. Suddenly smiled: "Didn't that young man leave last night?"

Gu Le snorted, ignored him, sat down by a bonfire, and casually broke a branch and threw it into the fire. The firelight shone on Gu Le's face, and the originally handsome face flickered brightly and darkly.

Hurriedly ate some dry food, Gu Le ignored Chen Daolin, put his sword under his head, lay on the ground, and closed his eyes.

Chen Daolin leaned against a tree, quietly listening to the slight insect chirping from the bushes, spring has arrived, and it seems that there is still the sound of sparse small beasts coming out to forage in the bushes.

Gu Le was quite decent, and the two girls were resting in the carriage, although someone was arranged to watch by the carriage.

Werewolves, however, were pitifully shackled and tied up with four of them, and left beside the two church guys.

Chen Daolin sighed secretly in his heart.

Except for the person in charge of the guard, the only ones who haven't fallen asleep are the two magicians.

The two magicians sat beside Chen Daolin, and Chen Daolin could feel that the eyes of the two mages seemed to be a little curious, and he turned around and smiled.

"Master Darling. One of them suddenly smiled and spoke—this was the guy who fought with Chen Daolin with his spiritual power tentacles yesterday: "Actually...... I've always been curious about some of your research. ”

"Oh?" Chen Daolin smiled.

The mage looked peaceful, and his eyes were very sincere: "I have also read those lecture notes of your magic machine, and some of the whimsical ideas in them are really eye-opening to me. ”

Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "Don't dare to be." ”

Another mage suddenly spoke, "Yesterday...... Is that spell that you suddenly burrowed into the ground earth magic? I have been thinking about it for a day, and I don't know how you did it. Is it a silent haircut?"

"Huh?" Chen Daolin glanced at this person, this mage was quite thin, and his eyes were very small, but his eyes were bright, and he only heard him say slowly: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Your Excellency's magic realm should only be a mid-level realm, but this silent hair technique, I heard that only a few high-level mages can master it." ”

Chen Daolin thought for a while, and simply misled the other party's words, so he said slowly: "Everyone has specialization, and I have put some effort into earth magic. If I were to cast a spell on the side, I am afraid I would not be able to do it. ”

"Even if you have a single specialization, it is not easy to practice magic until you are silent. The mage sighed and looked at Chen Daolin, his tone was actually a little sincere: "Your Excellency will return to the imperial capital this time, I don't think it will be too difficult for you to come to Your Majesty, if you leave Your Excellency in the palace, if you don't dislike it, I would like to be able to come to the door and learn from you." ”

Chen Daolin smiled when he heard this. And the mage next to him also nodded: "The deeper you cultivate on the path of magic, the more you feel your own insignificance." Your Excellency Darling, although you and I are on different sides, if you don't mind, then the magic machine...... I'd love to ask you a question or two. ”

Chen Daolin looked at the other party and found that the other party's eyes were clear and seemed to be sincere from the heart, so he nodded: "I was arrested this time." I'm afraid that Shiloh will keep me in prison...... I don't mind, if two mages are willing to come and talk to me, a prisoner, I'm happy to discuss it with them. ”

After a pause, he also released some kindness to this mage: "When we fought yesterday. Your Excellency's ability to condense spiritual power has also opened my eyes, and I have only recently gained some experience in the use of spiritual power. There are many places that are not yet clear, but if you can, please do not hesitate to give us advice. ”

The three guys exchanged pleasantries. It's a good atmosphere.,I think they're all magicians.,I don't pay much attention to any worldly hatred or anything.,When it comes to magic.,These two people show a bit of the special simplicity of magicians.。

Chen Daolin chatted with them for a while, and everyone casually talked about the preparation of a few spells and some magic potions, and in the end, the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Seeing that it was already midnight, the three of them were not sleepy at all, anyway, the magicians were all mentally strong people, it didn't matter if they slept or not, after meditating once, it was enough to support many days.

But Chen Daolin had been sealed with magic power, and gradually couldn't support it, and after a few yawns, the two mages noticed Chen Daolin's tired face, and looked at the mage shackles on Chen Daolin's wrists, and couldn't help but have a sad look in their eyes.

But any magician has a deep hatred for mage shackles, something that is specifically aimed at their own group.

It's like a wild beast hates the trap, whether it falls on his lap or not.

"Master Wink, Master Sasha, I have a lot of experience in being able to talk to the two of you like this, but my contemptible mind is already in chaos now, and I am afraid that if I continue to talk about it, I will fall asleep. Shen smiled and nodded slightly at the two mages: "Both of them are cultivators, I have a reluctant ......."

That Venke Master, who was competing with Chen Daolin for spiritual power, seemed to be more kind, so he smiled and said, "Master Darling, as long as we don't let the two of us let you go, we are willing to help with other things." ”

"Haha! How dare I let two of you do such a thing. Chen Daolin pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "My companion, the werewolf guard, suffered some injuries for me yesterday, although I was drugged, but I am still a little worried in my heart, I think the two of them are extraordinary, if they can use means, they will be ...... for me."

Wink glanced at the Sasha mage beside him, and Sasha nodded: "I still have some research on healing techniques, and I will treat your injuries before I go on the road tomorrow." ”

Wink smiled: "Orcs have always been known for their excellent martial arts, and werewolves are the best among them, and it is really eye-catching that Darling Mage can recover a werewolf as a servant." ”

Just as he was saying this, Gu Le, who had been lying there with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, suddenly turned over and jumped upright.

This guy was full of alertness, he had already put the sword in his hand, quickly pulled out the scabbard, and shouted in a low voice: "Someone is coming!"

He glanced at the two mages, and the two mages immediately recalled, and the Wen Ke mage sighed and smiled bitterly at Chen Daolin: "Offended!"

Quickly recited a spell, and the aura of a binding technique fell on Chen Daolin's body, Chen Daolin smiled bitterly, but kept silent.

Gu Le had already rushed out, and the originally silent team suddenly moved, and those resting warriors were awakened, quickly grabbed their weapons, and then lined up a simple circular defensive array in the camping place.

Seeing that these people were so well-trained, Chen Daolin became more and more sure that the people brought by this Gu Le must be the elite of the elite who have undergone strict military training!

As Gu Le whispered with a gloomy face, "In the northwest, there are horses' hooves!, five hundred paces!", and immediately two samurai flew up to the treetops, took out their bows and arrows, and aimed in the direction of the northwest road.

Sure enough, a moment later. There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, Gu Le stood in the middle of the team, his face was getting more and more gloomy, he listened to it closely, frowned and said: "The sound of horses' hooves is disordered, and the horse's strength is exhausted, huh...... It seems that it should be galloping with injuries, who does not care about their horses so much!"

The entire team looked like they were facing a great enemy, which made Chen Daolin more and more suspicious! Obviously. This ancient music ...... What did he seem to be worried about?

Thinking of this, it seems that this guy didn't leave the imperial capital with such elites specifically to catch himself...... So, it seems, will I accidentally see some unsavory secrets again?

Finally, not far from the road, the shadow of a galloping horse gradually became clear, and although the moonlight was unknown tonight, it could still be seen as the horses approached. The horse came galloping and seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion!

Especially the person on the horse, the body is lying on the horse's back, as if it is also a little unnatural.

Until the horse rushed to a distance of more than ten paces from the woods. The horse suddenly neighed, its front hooves weakened, and it finally fell to the ground! Seeing that even the man and the horse were about to roll into a ball, they saw the figure on the horse's back suddenly leap high in an instant. Then, like a big bird in mid-air, he opened his arms and slid out for more than ten meters. And then it landed firmly on the ground!

And the horse behind him was already lying on the ground, panting and screaming in a low voice, his whole body convulsed, and his mouth and nose were full of white foam!

The man on horseback fell to the ground, but his body was like a tall green pine, standing straight, and he didn't look back at the war horse, so he suddenly sneered softly!

In the darkness, I felt a lightning-like gaze shooting towards the woods, as if cutting through the darkness, so that people did not dare to force their eyes!

"What kind of person, sneakily hiding in the woods, come out!"

This cold drink seemed to be calm in tone, but the coldness in the words made everyone who heard it couldn't help but shiver!

But as soon as he heard this voice, Gu Le, who was still nervous and vigilant, suddenly relaxed!

He actually showed a slightly excited look, and immediately stepped out of the crowd, and shouted to the person in the distance: "Old, teacher!! It's me! Gule! I'm here!!"

When the person in the distance heard this, he said "Huh", as if there was a little less chill in his tone, smiled lightly, and slowly walked over: "Gu Le, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

Gu Le took a deep breath, and had already waved his hand to let his men put down all the swords they had raised, and even the two archers on the tree jumped down and honestly put away their longbows.

Gu Le bowed deeply to the person who came over, bowed deeply, and made a big salute before he said quickly: "Teacher, Your Majesty ordered me to take people out of Beijing, just to come here to find you, you ......"

Speaking of this, I saw that this person had already come closer, and by the faint light, Gu Le saw his teacher clearly, and suddenly his voice trembled, and the second half of the sentence was directly cut off, and he lost his voice: "Old, teacher, you, you are ?!!."

I saw this person coming, and slowly walked to the forest. Although he was tall, when he got closer, he saw that this man was gray-headed, and his face was covered with dust, and he could hardly see his original appearance. One of the boots under his feet has been dropped, especially on his body, there are several tearing marks on the shirt, which at first glance have been cut by sharp weapons!

This person is obviously not lightly injured!

Gu Le was trembling all over, obviously at a loss, but just looked at his teacher: "You...... You...... How do you ......?"

"Well, some injuries. The man's tone was indifferent: "No problem. ”

"Only, it's just ......" Gu Le's face showed an expression of disbelief: "In today's world, who can hurt you, teacher?!"

The man snorted, his eyes seemed to be a little secretly helpless and annoyed, he just frowned and walked over slowly, came to Gu Le's side, quickly stretched out his hand, took off the water bag from Gu Le's waist, unscrewed his head and poured a few sips, before he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "There are people outside the world, Gu Le, you remember, I am not invincible in the world." Hum...... In this world, I don't know how many masters are hidden, but you don't know!"

And Chen Daolin looked at this guy, and after looking at it a few more times, his face suddenly changed slightly!

This man...... The clothes on his body are impressively black!

Moreover, he was standing there, holding a sword in his left hand! The blade of the sword was impressively short, and the head of the sword was flat, apparently the tip of the sword had been cut off somehow!!

He immediately remembered what the other party said when he met the boy named Mung Bean Cake last night.

Find someone...... Not tall, not too short, not too old...... Dressed in black and carrying a broken sword?!

Chen Daolin suddenly had a strong curiosity in his heart.

saw that this person was already standing beside Gu Le, gently patted Gu Le's shoulder, and said slowly: "Okay, don't look at me like this." There is no martial art so far, there are naturally people in this world who are stronger than me, you don't have such an expression like the end of the world, it makes me angry when you look at it! When did you become so spineless!"

"Teacher...... You are running late at night, is there something urgent?" Gu Le frowned and said, "No matter what, Your Majesty asked me to bring someone to find the teacher, huh...... I still have a first-class horse here, teacher, you rest for a while, and after dawn, I will wait for the teacher to go on the road, and let's go back to the imperial capital. ”

"Dawn?" The man smiled faintly: "I can't wait for dawn! You can give me a horse, and I'll leave now! Hey! This time I lost home, but I also lost happily! I haven't made half a point of improvement for many years, but this setback has made me gain a lot in my heart! Hmph, I don't lose a loss! I don't lose unjustly!"

Gu Le was dumbfounded and opened his mouth: "You...... Why bother, why be in such a hurry......

"Don't worry, no!" The man laughed: "There is a little guy in the back who is chasing me all the way!Haha, I went to provoke the old man, and I was taught a hard lesson, I may not be convinced, but the old thing sent a little guy to run out and chase me all the way, I fought with him three times, and I lost worse than the other, and I am convinced now!! Haha, I made a bet with him, as long as I return to the imperial capital, they will not come to me, and when I practice hard for a few years behind closed doors, I will slowly digest the gains from this defeat, and there will always be a chance to find a way back! Hahaha! The road of martial arts, I have been stagnant for many years, but now I have finally spied a new situation, this loss, really makes me happy to lose!!"

"Little, little one?"

At this moment, Gu Le finally reacted, looking at his teacher's outfit, his heart suddenly tightened, his face changed wildly, and even his body shook violently, and he said in a trembling voice: "You...... You mean...... The person who chases you is one, is a ......"

"Well, a little monster, looking young, wearing a robe, and speaking softly. The man sighed faintly: "Their faction really has a way! I don't know how to train it, a little monster is so powerful! Hmph, I fought with him three times on the road, and the result was ......."

As he spoke, he looked down at the scars on his body and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Chen Daolin stood behind, looking at this person, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but whisper to the two magicians beside him: "Two ...... This guy ...... What kind of person is it? It looks like he was beaten badly, but this person loses so heroically? Who is sacred?"

That Venke mage, who also seemed to be full of horror, heard Chen Daolin's question, turned his head, and showed a reluctant wry smile on his face:

"The Empire's No. 1 Sword Master...... Kao!" (To be continued......)
