Chapter 3 The Marching Escort on the Road

In a mountain forest, on a spacious official road, there is a carriage and a group of marching troops guarding the front and back of the carriage, and a flag is planted above the carriage, and there is a big character in the center of the flag, on which is written a flag sail with the word "Zhao".

The leader was a middle-aged man of about thirty years, wearing a golden armor, with a strong physique and deep eyes, followed by a group of about twenty or so marching guards, each riding a tall horse, the horses were very strong, they should be the best horses in the horse breed, and the armor of each guard was very uniform, more like an elite escort carefully selected from an army.

At this time, from time to time in the carriage, there was the coughing of a woman and the comforting sound of several girls;

"Miss, don't worry, your illness will be cured," Zhao Wangye said that he knew that there was a mountain in the east of "Lingtianfu City", called "Yunxiang Mountain", where there was a sect of cultivating immortals, called "Yunxiang Sect" I heard that!

"That's right! Our visit to the legendary "Yunxiang Sect" this time can be described as a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation, and when the time comes, Miss's stubborn illness will definitely be eradicated, Miss, don't worry."

A frail woman in the carriage voiced;

"Xiaolin, Xiaolan, thank you for taking care of me for so many years, I am already very satisfied in my life with the company of the two of you"

A light voice said;

"Miss, you're talking nonsense again! Xiaolan and I were taken in and raised by Prince Zhao since childhood, and we also played with Miss until we grew up, not to mention that we are dependent on Miss, but we are also good sisters who are like brothers and sisters, and serving Miss is what we should do! Why do you want to say thank you to us! If you do this, we will ignore you."

Another woman said;

"Well, that is, we are willing to serve Miss forever, and when Miss is well, I will go to see the flower market together, go to enjoy the lanterns together, fly kites together, and go to the "Treasure Pavilion" together to see those handsome and dashing famous sons writing and painting, it makes people drool when they think about it."

A woman laughed and scolded;

"Oops, Xiaolan, you're a nymphomaniac again!

That's it! The women were talking and laughing in the carriage, completely oblivious to the marching guards guarding them outside, and they didn't know how the guards felt about the conversation between the women.

In the distance of the official road, a young man who was hurrying on the side of the road appeared, the young man was thin and straight, walking slowly on the official road.

The boy is "Huang Yun", he "since the "Bamboo Forest Inn" came out, he has been walking along the official road, he heard that from the official road to the north, should be to a frontier city called "Lingtianfu City", in fact, he does not know where he should go, just want to find a place to settle down, from a new understanding of this new world, as for where to go is no longer important, because he has been asleep for too long, there are many things he is extremely unfamiliar with, so he can only choose to go to "Lingtianfu City" Look, after all, it's also a frontier city, and the dense population there may be the answer he wants.

At this time, the team escorting the carriage was not far behind "Huang Yun", "Huang Yun" subconsciously leaned over to give way, and the "golden-armored man" led by him did not continue walking, but stopped in front of "Huangyun", and the middle-aged gold-armored man lowered his head and hugged his fists and asked;

"Dare to ask! Where is the boy going!"

"Huang Yun" looked at the "middle-aged man in golden armor" and nodded his fist in return;

"When I first arrived, I wandered around, where it was lively, and I heard that there was a place called "Lingtianfu City" here, so I wanted to go and see it."

"The middle-aged man in golden armor" said again;

"Oh! you are also going to the "Lingtianfu City", it is just right, we are going to the "Yunxiang Sect" to do some important things, and we will pass through the "Lingtianfu City" on the way, if the young man doesn't mind, how about going forward with us?"

"Huang Yun" glanced at the "middle-aged man in golden armor" and found this person and joked with himself, so he thought for a while!

"In that case, then I will obey my fate."

I saw the "middle-aged man in golden armor" turn around and shout to the team behind the carriage;

"Pull up that extra horse in the back!"

After speaking, he looked at "Huang Yun" and said;

"Boy, you can ride a horse."

"Huang Yun" paused, then shook his head and said;

"Never ridden a horse"

The middle-aged man in golden armor frowned after hearing this, and then laughed;

"Hahaha! There are still people who can't ride horses these days, no wonder I saw you walking on foot, it turned out that you couldn't ride horses, so you chose to walk, you are really strange."

At this time, a young girl lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked out a head, the girl was quirky and very cute, she looked at the "middle-aged man in golden armor" in front of her and asked;

"May I ask Commander Zhou, why don't you leave, is there something that hinders your progress?"

"The middle-aged man in golden armor" looked back at the girl and smiled;

"Miss Xiaolin, it's okay! I just met a young man who was in a hurry, and he was also on his way to "Lingtianfu City", seeing that he was pitiful, he wanted to lead a horse for him to ride, but he said that he couldn't ride a horse."

After listening to this, the girl looked at the "yellow cloud" on the side of the road, and then got into the carriage, and after a long time, a smart woman's voice came from the carriage;

"It's okay! let him sit in the carriage! there's a lot of space inside, so it's not in the way to take him on a ride."

"The middle-aged man in golden armor" Zou frowned, and said with a solemn face;

"I'm afraid it's not right, just in case"

The voice of a frail woman continued;

"What's wrong! This big boy can still stab his father... This girl can't be."

The woman wanted to speak and stopped! It seems that she did not finish the rest of the sentence!

The middle-aged man in the golden armor looked at "Huang Yun" and then looked at the direction of the carriage, his face showed embarrassment, and finally his eyes stayed on the "Qingyun Sword" in "Huang Yun's" hand, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice;

"Young man, your long sword is not allowed to be brought into the carriage, for the sake of safety, this general leader will take the lead to keep it for you, and it will be returned to you after you arrive in the "Lingtianfu City", I don't know what the young man wants

"Huang Yun" looked at the "middle-aged man in golden armor" with a smile on his face and said flatly;

"Thank you for the kindness of the Great Commander, this sword is the only treasure in the next place, you can't leave your hand, please understand the Great Commander, just walk on your own, thank you!"

The "middle-aged man in golden armor" glanced at "Huang Yun" meaningfully, and then hugged his fists;

"Then I'm sorry! This is the responsibility of the commander, so I can only wish you a smooth journey."

After speaking, he turned and looked in the direction of the carriage;

"This young man doesn't plan to go with us, we still have important things to do and continue on our way, so we don't have to force it."

After saying that, he threw up his horsewhip and began to move on with the team again.

When the carriage passed in front of "Huang Yun", the curtain of the carriage slowly lifted, revealing two quirky girls who looked very cute, and the two girls made a grimace at "Huang Yun", as if they were dissatisfied with "Huang Yun" for rejecting their kindness.

However, there seemed to be more than just these two lovely girls in the carriage, there seemed to be two other people, one of them was the woman who had been coughing and her body seemed very weak, the woman looked extremely beautiful, although she was already suffering from illness, her face was pale, and her body was already emaciated, but it was still difficult to hide her beauty and temperament.

The last one was an old man, with gray hair, dressed in a gray robe, sitting cross-legged, lucky, never said a word from beginning to end, like a sand sculpture, motionless, when the carriage passed in front of the "yellow cloud", the old man seemed to open his eyes, and soon closed them again.

Watching the carriage procession gradually move away, "Huang Yun" said casually;

"Seemingly!

After about a stick of incense, the sky was still shining with a scorching sun, and a dark cloud slowly drifted in the sky in the distance, and the originally bright earth was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the sky soon became much darker, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

As the dark clouds gathered in the sky, dazzling thunder and lightning flashed from time to time in the tumbling clouds, boom, boom, boom, deafening.

Soon, it was pouring rain in the sky, and a large amount of rain appeared on the entire official road, and the road became more muddy and difficult to walk in an instant.

The heavy rain drenched the whole body of "Yellow Cloud", and he didn't care, and continued to walk forward with difficult steps.

Cultivation is to do what you want, casual and peaceful, whether it is even the scorching sun or the storm, for the immortal cultivator, it is nothing more than a cultivation perception, heaven and earth are impermanent, such as people's hearts, unpredictable, who can see through people's hearts at a glance, life is the need to temper and understand, instead of staying at home all day long, looking at the sky and sighing at the moon, life is inaction, and the fool is more sad.

Outside an abandoned Taoist temple, a group of hurried riding teams and a carriage, a group of guards wearing armor, when approaching the Taoist temple, they immediately dismounted, scanned the surroundings, vigilantly watched the surrounding environment, led by the "middle-aged man in golden armor" turned over and dismounted and quickly walked into the courtyard of the Taoist temple, casually glanced at the front and back of the house, and then ordered his subordinates to simply sweep away the debris on the ground.

A young girl got down from the carriage, held up an oil umbrella and waited for the people in the carriage to come out, only to see another girl holding a sickly beautiful woman out, carefully stepping down from the carriage, and then several people walked quickly into the Taoist temple.

Soon the guards in an orderly manner have hid in the courtyard to avoid the rain, the Taoist temple is not big, but not small, although it has been a little dilapidated, but it is still intact, but it is uninhabited and uncared for all the year round, so the front of the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the auditorium in the Taoist temple has been covered with uneven cobwebs, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.

Two girls helped the weak woman into the auditorium, the woman patted the rain on her body, looked at a statue in the middle of the auditorium that had been broken, the woman worshipped reverently, prayed for blessings, and then sat down on a chair that had been wiped clean to rest, not to mention, although it has been abandoned for many years, but the daily items used in it are still preserved, indicating that the Taoist priests who practiced here did not completely empty the items here, at least kept the tables, chairs and benches or something, which looked quite sturdy.

It's still raining heavily outside, and I don't plan to stop if I see that this fight won't last a day or two.

A fire was lit in the auditorium of the Taoist temple, after all, it was still raining outside, and the fire was used to keep warm so as not to catch the cold.

After arranging the respective tasks of his subordinates, the middle-aged man in the golden armor walked to the Taoist temple hall, bowed to the frail woman and hugged his fists, and told the princess that the heavy rain had hindered our way forward, and I was afraid that we would not be able to stop for a while, and that we might have to stay here for one night, and asked the princess for instructions.

"Glamorous woman", coughed softly a few times;

"Commander Zhou, you have to escort you all the way, this time it's up to you to decide, and this princess doesn't need to prompt"

"The middle-aged man in golden armor" said respectfully;

"Ben Will Have Commanded"

Then the "middle-aged man in golden armor" walked up again, and said to the "gray-robed old man" who was sitting in the corner and had not spoken;

"What is the indication of the national teacher?"

The "gray-robed old man" sitting cross-legged on the ground did not speak, but just shook his head, indicating that there was no hint!

The middle-aged man in golden armor had no choice but to sigh and walk out of the Taoist temple hall.
