Half a day later, Liu Ming quietly left the Bai family again, and as soon as he walked out of Lushui City, he immediately recruited a gray cloud and flew away in a certain direction.
As for his retiring from the Mu's family, it was naturally handed over to the Bai's family to deal with it. This was also part of the transaction.
He was even less interested in seeing the shepherd's messenger, and he didn't want to waste any more time on it.
After all, he still has something else to do.
Seven or eight days later, Liu Ming left Fengtian County and his whereabouts became unknown.
Two months later, on an official road hundreds of miles away in Xuanjing, the capital of the Great Profound Kingdom, more than 30 black-armored knights were slowly moving forward with three carriages guarding them.
Each of these black-armored knights wore standard thick armor, armed with guns and knives, and looked murderous. They were the famous Black Tiger Guards of the Great Profound Kingdom.
One of them had a light red long tassel on his head and a light green huge bow on his back, but it was the lieutenant in charge of a team of men among the black guards.
Although according to the regulations, the number of people in a team is only about 30, but the black guards have always been stationed in the fortresses of the important towns in the counties, specifically for the court to monitor the movement of the military and civilians in various places, and even an ordinary lieutenant is counted as an official position.
Now these black tiger guards and all the lieutenants are dispatched, only to escort these carriages. It can be seen that the owner of the carriage must be either rich or expensive.
"My lord, it's getting late. Let's find a place to settle down. If we hurry up the next day and tomorrow, we should be able to reach Xuanjing." A brawny man in front of him suddenly drew his horse's head. In front of the lieutenant, he whispered.
"Well, I know this naturally. But the nearest station is thirty or forty miles away. You take two people to explore the front and see if there is a suitable place to stay nearby." The military lieutenant replied faintly, with a cold black visor on his face, and he couldn't tell the truth.
"Yes. Hei Niu, Tie Xiaosan, follow me to the front to take a look." The strong man immediately agreed and greeted the other two soldiers behind him loudly.
Immediately two of the soldiers from behind rushed out, and the three of them hurriedly pushed down and drove to the front.
"Du Junwei, what happened?" In the front carriage, a woman's voice full of magnetism suddenly heard.
"Ms. Mi don't worry, I just let a few hands go down and find a place to stay." The military lieutenant with a black visor turned his head and replied.
"Oh, it's okay. Thanks to Du Junwei's escort along the way, I have to thank you all when Xuan Jing is reached." The woman in the carriage seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but still said gratefully.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam, I have also been ordered by Master Dutong!" The military lieutenant bowed slightly, seemingly reluctant to say anything.
After the woman in the carriage chuckled, she also said nothing.
When the team continued to advance for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses hooves in front rang again, but it was the brawny Pegasus galloping over.
As soon as he arrived in front of the team, he took the reins and slowed down his mount.
"Lord Lieutenant, I found an abandoned temple by the official road five miles away. Hei Niu and Tie Xiaosan have already cleaned up there." The strong man said respectfully as soon as he arrived in front of the Lieutenant.
"Very well, if you lead the way, go to the temple and rest for one night." The military lieutenant said without thinking.
So the team speeded up a few points immediately, and started trotting after the strong man left.
A quarter of an hour later, the motorcade was surrounded by the soldiers and arrived in front of a Huangliang Earth Temple Xuyuan from the official road.
There were two black tiger guard horses outside the temple, but there was also a small black carriage, and two blue and white mules were tied to a beer stake outside, and they were quietly gnawing nearby weeds with their heads down.
But the fire in the earth temple flickered, and there were faint voices coming.
"What's going on?" Du Junwei saw this, his voice sank, and he asked the brawny man next to him.
"Return to the military lieutenant, when I found this place, there were already two passers-by here. But the subordinates have already cross-examined. They went to Xuanjing to join in marriage, one is a famous scholar who has no power to bind a chicken, and the other One is just a young girl." The strong man hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"Really, it's important. I'll look at these two people first." Du Junwei still didn't seem to be relieved. After speaking lightly, he jumped off his horse and walked towards the temple.
I saw two fires, one large and one small, already lit in the earth temple.
Near the larger fire were two armored men, one tall and one short, while near the smaller fire there was a young man in a green Confucian robe and a thin girl of seven or eight years old.
Although the girl looks pretty, but she has a yellowish and thin face, and she nestles half of her body on the young man, seeming to be very attached to the young man.
The young Confucian student looked twenty-seven or eighteen, with a very ordinary face, but he was holding an unknown thick book in his hand, looking at the flames with relish.
When the two soldiers by the fire saw Du Junwei walking in, they stood up in shock and hurried over to salute.
"no."
"What is your name, there is a guide, where did you come from and where did you go?" Du Junwei waved his hand, but after looking at the scholar for a few times, he asked coldly.
"Ah, it turned out to be the army master. Xia Qianming, and my niece went to Xuanjing to join in marriage. As for Lu Yin, please wait for the army master..." As soon as the scholar heard Du Junwei's question, it seemed that the world was sober in the book. After coming over, after subconsciously answering a few sentences, I felt a while on my body, and finally took out a crumpled note and handed it over.
A soldier hurried forward a few steps, took the note, turned around and handed it to Junwei Du.
Du Junwei just glanced at the note, nodded and handed it to the soldier, so that it would be returned to the scholar, he turned around and walked out of the earth temple without saying a word.
After a while, there was a sound of shouting from outside the earth temple. A dozen soldiers rushed in and started to clean the earth temple quickly. Then they brought many bundles of firewood from nowhere. Several bonfires have risen.
At this time, together with Xiangfeng outside, a glamorous woman of thirty years old walked in. She was holding a boy of seven or eight years old in her hand, but behind her was a rugged servant woman and a woman. Pretty maid whose name is no more than fifteen or six years old.
As soon as the glamorous woman and boy walked into the earthen temple, the servant woman immediately spread a piece of snow-white animal skin in her arms by a fire, and placed two low wooden stools for the woman and the man. Tong sits on it. The pretty girl took out a slap-sized incense burner, and put a joss stick on it, and it lit it at one point.
Immediately a faint air of sandalwood incense diffused in the earthen temple.
When the other soldiers and nadu soldiers walked into the earthen temple, and after giving an order, except for five or six people standing guard at the temple gate, most of the others began to take the armor and weapons one by one from their bodies. Next, it seems that I am planning to take a good rest.
As soon as that Du Junwei took off his helmet, mask and body armor, he turned out to be a slender, heroic and beautiful woman.
It’s just that there is a light red scar on the woman’s forehead, which has damaged her appearance. At the same time, her face is extremely cold and she doesn’t see the slightest smile. She often places a light green bow and a barrel of black arrows next to her. Sitting cross-legged across from the glamorous woman and boy, looking at the fire, he was silent.
At this time, other soldiers began to take out some rice ball-like food from their bodies, and began to eat quietly.
Heihuwei is worthy of being a well-known elite sergeant in the Great Profound Kingdom, and as expected, all of them are well-trained.
But on the side of the glamorous woman, the servant woman had already gone outside the temple again and took out a bamboo basket from the carriage, and took some exquisite meals from it for the glamorous woman and boy to eat.
"Du Junwei, there is a lot of food here for my concubine, why not eat some together." After the beautiful woman took out a piece of delicate pastry and fed the boy a few bites, she glanced at the Ying Ting woman who was still sitting on the opposite side. , Said with a smile suddenly.
"Thank you Mrs. Mi for your kindness. I have learned some bigu techniques. It won't hurt if you don't eat for two or three days." The Yingting woman shook her head indifferently after taking a look at the beautiful woman.
"So, that concubine won't force the lieutenant." Seeing this, the glamorous woman didn't get angry, just smiled and continued to feed the boy.
But the boy only took a few more bites, and even the one who shook his head stopped eating. Instead, after turning his eyes, he looked curiously at the girl beside the scholar on the other side of the fire.
I saw an extra piece of roasted steaming brown steamed bun in the girl's hand sometime, bit by bit, and swallowed seriously.
"Slow down, don't choke." The scholar was still holding the book in his hand and looked at it, but after seeing the girl struggling to swallow, he said with a slight smile, and when he moved his arm, he took out one of them from his arms. Some warm leather bags were handed to the girl.
"Thank you, brother Ming"
The girl very well-behaved took the leather bag and poured two mouthfuls into her little mouth, her little face full of smiles.
However, there was a faint fragrance in the leather bag, but because it was far less strong than the smell of sandalwood, few people found it. But the glamorous woman who was persuading the boy to eat, her face was startled at the moment when she heard the fragrance, and she looked at the girl's leather bag with almost doubt.
"Mr., may I ask in this leather bag..." After this Madam Mi's eyes flickered a few times, she wanted to say something to the young scholar with a light cough.
But at this moment, there was a piercing scream from outside the temple, and then there was a blast. After a few black tiger guards standing outside the temple gate screamed, they were taken out of the black night by more than a dozen. The arrows that came from the lasing pierced the vitals of the body one after another turned over and fell down.
At this moment, the black guards who were resting in the temple were all in chaos, and the soldiers who were not able to put on the armor immediately grabbed their soldiers in their hands and made a defensive posture.
Some people even drew out a few thick-skinned shields from nowhere, and the figure swayed in front of Mrs. Mi and the boy, protecting them tightly.
