Chapter 24 Bloody Battle
Nothing happened all night, and at three quarters the next day, Duguchi got up, washed and ate, paid the rent and rushed to the gathering place.
When we arrived in front of the Crescent Inn, it was still a quarter before midnight. There were already many people busy in front of the inn, preparing horses and loading cars. Everything was in order and without any chaos. A tall man stood there. The commander was on the steps in front of the inn. This big man obviously knew what was wrong.
"Good morning, uncle Mingfei," Duguchi took the initiative to step forward and say hello.
When Ming Fei saw it was him, a rare smile appeared on his cold face: "Little guy, you arrived on time and you have already had breakfast."
"Have eaten, uncle, is there anyone who needs my help here?" Duguchi asked.
"No, please wait nearby. We will set off after loading the car." After saying this, Mingfei ignored Duguchi and went to direct the loading of the car.
At midnight, the carriage driven by Ming Fei yesterday drove out of the backyard. It seemed that the lady was ready to set off. However, the whip was replaced by a boy in green.
There were quite a lot of people in this convoy, probably forty or fifty people. About twenty of them had knives or swords on their waists. They were all majestic and looked like bodyguards and soldiers. Following Mingfei's shout, the convoy slowly started to move. , walked towards the city gate. Mingfei personally led a dozen soldiers to the front of the team, and the other soldiers were arranged to be scattered around the carriages and horses and behind. Xu was a good impressionist, so Mingfei arranged for Dugu Chi to sit On a carriage pulling goods.
The motorcade advanced slowly and soon arrived at the gate of the city. Needless to say, it went through a inspection before leaving the city.
Driving onto the official road, the speed of the convoy naturally increased. Duguchi had nothing to do, so he found some topics to chat with the driver who was driving the car. The leader was an old man in his fifties or sixties, with gray hair and a face. The deep wrinkles on his upper body overlap one another, seeming to tell the story of the hardships he has experienced in his life. The old man looks quite old, but his body is extremely strong. From his appearance, he looks like a man in his forties. His upper body He wears a gray homespun shirt, blue and black loose-legged homespun trousers with the trousers tied up, a pair of old black leather short boots on his feet, and a huge copper flask on his waist. It seems that he likes the things in the cup.
Duguchi is a ten-year-old boy. He is good-looking and smart, so he is naturally lovable. The old man is quite talkative even though he travels all over the country. Duguchi is also a smart person. Not long after setting off, the old man and the young man started chatting quite a lot. Speculation. The old man has seen a lot, such as official and unofficial history, strange things, and local customs. Dugu Chi listens with interest. Every time Dugu Chi asks questions, he can scratch the old man's itch. He treats Dugu Chi as if he has been friends for years. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Duguchi also inquired about the identity and background of the woman in the luxurious carriage, and the old man did not hide it.
I learned from the old man that the woman in the car was from the eldest grandson family, one of the four major families in the Southern Continent. Coincidentally, the woman was of the same gender as Dugu Chi, and her single name was Lin. She was from another of the four major families. A lonely family.
Speaking of which, these four major families do not belong to any country in the northern continent. Their family inheritance originated from the Holy Court. The ancestors of the four families were four of the six palace masters when the Holy Court established the religion. After hundreds of years, The power of these four major families has become very large in the southern continent, and they can easily influence the destiny of many countries in the southern continent. These four families are also firm supporters of the Holy Court, and the current cultivators of the Holy Court , as many as 40% are disciples from the four major families.
"My surname is Dugu. She is of the same gender as me. What a coincidence. I wonder if this lady is related to my father? I have to think about it. This continent is so big. Is there anything strange about having the same surname?" Dugu Chi thought to himself.
"After talking so much, I still don't know what you call me, grandpa?" Dugu Chi asked.
"Me, old man, my surname is Li, and my last name is Ke." Old man Li didn't hide anything. "You're a little baby, what's your name?"
"The boy's name is Dugu Chi." Dugu Chi had no intention of hiding his real name.
"Dugu, your surname is Dugu, could it be that you want to marry my wife?" After hearing Dugu Chi's name, the old man raised his eyebrows and joked with him.
"See what you always said, this is my real surname. My ancestors lived here. Let's talk about the marriage." Duguchi said with a smile, knowing that the old man was joking with himself, not mocking himself, so he was confused. Don't care.
"This child is so grand. It is rare for ordinary people to have such an heir." The old man squinted at Dugu Chi and thought to himself. While the two were chatting, the old man took off the wine bottle hanging from his waist and opened it. Lift the pot lid, take a sip of wine, and wipe the wine stains from your mouth with your hands.
After chatting for a day, the convoy reached a mountain forest at sunset, and a small stream came out of the forest. Mingfei shouted to the convoy to stop, and the commander set up tents to prepare food and prepare to spend the night here. Dugu Chi also As the old man joined the busy team, he was young and others did not let him do heavy work. He was able to collect firewood and light the fire. Dugu Chi did not shy away from hardship and worked hard.
Dinner was simple, a meat pie and a bowl of soup. After dinner, Duguchi helped to pack up the cooking utensils. After everything was packed up, the tent was set up. Mrs. Changsun lived in a tent alone, and there were two or three others. There were maybe three or four people living in the same room. Old Man Li probably felt that Dugu was a good match for him, so he pulled him to live with him.
The motorcade continued to march early the next morning. Duguchi and old man Li sat on the shaft of the car and chatted all the way. The old man laughed heartily from time to time when he talked about what he was happy about. The old man laughed so loudly that everyone in the motorcade could hear it clearly. Duguchi didn't know what was going on, but at this moment, Mrs. Changsun, who was sitting in the luxurious carriage, began to wonder, "What's wrong with Mr. Li? I've never seen him smile so freely." She couldn't help but lift the curtain. Turning the corner, he looked towards the old man's car and saw Dugu Chi sitting next to the old man. "Is it because of this child? This is really strange." Dugu Chi didn't know anything about all this. That old man Li He seemed to be aware of it. He looked up at the luxurious carriage, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine.
Along the way, the convoy also passed through some towns. There were personnel to replenish some supplies, but the group never stopped in the towns. The journey was boring, but the old and the young did not feel it at all. Every day, the world was far away, and the sea and the sky were vast. During the chat, Dugu Chi gained a clearer understanding of the world. Although this boy was not very knowledgeable, he was more intelligent and quick in thinking. Over the past few days, Old Man Li found this boy more and more interesting and that he was really a wonderful person.
The days passed by traveling day by day. On the 13th day, Dugu Chi learned from Old Man Li that their journey was already halfway through. After climbing over the big mountain in front, they would reach the boundary of the province. It is only one day's journey from the province and from Nabra, the capital of Kehaito.
Fengyuan Continent has a huge area, and there are many large and small mountains on the continent, such as Black Peak and Yunling in the south, Jiuyin, Tianya, Youran in the west, Qimen in the middle of the southern continent, Tianfeng in the middle of the northern continent, and Ji
Mountains such as Binglan in the north and Duanbo that lead directly to the East China Sea are all considered larger mountains, and there are countless other smaller mountains.
The most famous of these mountains are Jiuyin Mountain, Youran Mountain and Binglan Mountain in the far north. These three mountain ranges are the main living places of Warcraft, and they are also the natural boundaries of the areas ruled by various races on the mainland. A race wants to
To attack other ethnic groups, you must first cross the mountains that block the two countries. Then you must first deal with the powerful group of monsters living in the mountains. But is this group of monsters so easy to deal with? It's a bit far.
.
The mountain range in front of the group now is Qimen Mountain. Qimen Mountain not only exists in the territory of Kehaito Country, it is thousands of kilometers long and crosses several countries in the southern continent. Although Qimen Mountain is not like Jiuyin, it is quiet and quiet.
, the Binglan Mountains are famous, but there are also many magical beasts living in the depths of these mountains, many of which are powerful beings. Although there are official roads running through them, it is difficult to say that you will not be attacked by magical beasts when you cross the mountains.
The biggest danger lies here. After passing Qimen Mountain, there is a smooth road.
To cross Qimen Mountain, it takes three days to walk on the mountain road, which means that you need to camp in the mountain for two nights. These two nights are also the most dangerous. Most of the monsters like to be nocturnal. Duguchi still has this common sense.
On the first night, the convoy camped under a giant peak. There was a flat land under the giant peak, with its back facing the river and far away from the woods. Each of these mercenaries was very experienced. When pitching tents, they would try to pitch the tents as tightly as possible.
They were even surrounded by horse-drawn carriages. There were also rotating sentries at night, and everyone, even Dugu Chi, was issued weapons. It seemed that Mingfei had rich experience in dealing with such problems. There was no such thing as a tense night.
