17. Get on the road
"It's going to be fine, he'll be back." Yalvis stood behind him, looking ahead and comforting him. In fact, he was also very anxious. Li Haozhi disappeared after the last battle during the day, and they searched everywhere but couldn't find him, but fortunately, he was not found among the dead.
"You can't sleep, can you?" At this time, Abt also came out, and he found Mike and Yalvis standing in the doorway and asked.
"Well, you're not out yet." Jarvis looked back and saw that it was Abt.
"Hey, yes, it's just been a few days since I got married, and I don't want anything to happen to Li Hao." Abt's words revealed a very sad mood.
"He'll be fine." Mike said anxiously.
"Well, he's going to be fine."
At this time, others also came out.
"Look, is there another shadow there?" Sri suddenly asked excitedly.
"There? There? When Mike heard that there was a shadow in front of him, he guessed that it was Li Hao, and asked excitedly.
In fact, what Si Rui saw was Li Hao who came back, he first went to the place where he fought during the day, and after rolling along the wheel, he left traces on the road, and ran all the way back.
When he saw the convoy's camp, he found Mike and the others all at the camp gate. He knew that they were waiting for him to come back, and seeing that they were still waiting for him so late, Li Hao was very moved at this time. He originally thought that their marriage was just a temporary decision, but he didn't expect them to really treat him as a brother, and now there is indescribable excitement in his heart.
"Is the person in front of you Li Hao?" Mike saw the figure in front of him stop not far away. Didn't come over. And it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, so he asked anxiously.
"Yes. It's me. Li Hao responded to Mike's words.
"Yes, yes, it's Li Hao, Li Hao is back." Mike heard Li Hao's voice and shouted excitedly.
When the rest of the people saw that it was really Li Hao back, they hurriedly ran towards him. At first sight, it was really him. Excitedly, he hugged Li Hao tightly.
Yalvis came over and slapped Li Hao the shoulder. Said: "You dead boy, where are you going to die?" We didn't sleep today. β
Li Hao quipped: "Hehe, I went to find a beautiful woman." β
"Okay, you go find a beautiful woman. They didn't take me there, and they made a bunch of us wait here. Abt also joked with Li Hao.
Li Hao smiled: "Isn't there only one beauty?" It's hard to divide too many people? β
"Okay, don't make a fuss, let's go back to the tent first." Jarvis interjected.
Then, Li Hao was pushed and pulled into the tent by them.
After entering the tent, Li Hao made up a process of where he went, saying that when he was chasing the thieves, he got lost in a wood, and finally made a big circle. I just got it back.
Mike and the others also believed his words, and they all thought that Li Hao was lost, and there was no suspicion.
β»β»β»
"Is Li Hao coming back?" The sun has just come out. Captain Darcy ran to Li Hao's tent and shouted loudly.
"Who ran up and shouted so early in the morning?" Mike was very unhappy because he stayed up late last night and had someone outside early in the morning.
Li Hao was in the tent, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the captain Darcy who was coming. As soon as he got dressed and walked out of the tent, he saw Darcy standing at the mouth of the tent.
"Captain. You're up earlier than ever today. Li Hao said with a smile.
"Haha, no way. I can't sleep! I just heard from the guards last night that you were back, so I came to see you, how about it? Didn't get hurt, did you? β
"Captain Xie cares, I was only unfortunately lost when I was chasing the thieves, so I lost a lot of time."
"Oh, that's right, just be careful from now on." β¦
Darcy chatted with Li Hao for a while, and then went to call the others to get up and go on the road.
β»β»β»
The town of Cullen is a large town on the edge of the mouth of the Oss Mountains, and there are many traders coming and going here for a long time, so there are many people coming and going here.
On the edge of Coulomb is a small garrison that is primarily responsible for the security of the town.
After the convoy left the mountains, it was already evening. Darcy decided to set up camp near the Cullen guard barracks, so that he could ask them to guard for the time being, and the convoy could go to the town to relax.
On the streets of Coulomb Town, Li Hao and the others were looking for a restaurant, and they decided to have a good drink tonight, one is to celebrate Li Hao's safe return, and the other is to deepen the friendship between sworn brothers.
"This is good, is this one?" Maas said, pointing to a small restaurant on the side of the road.
Jarvis looked at the store, saw that the store was very poorly decorated, and the people inside were sparse, shook his head, and said, "Let's change it?" β
Maas said: "Why? This shop is very good, in my small village, there are few big hotels like this. β
Jarvis was embarrassed, and thought to himself, this is a 'Grand Hotel'?
"Kai Rui, we won't go to this one, it's better to go to another one, last time I said that the money for this meal was invited by Li Hao, don't let him bleed today, he doesn't know how much we love him." Mike came over and said, his eyes were still uncomfortable and glanced at Li Hao in front of him, and a faint evil smile leaked from his mouth.
Li Hao saw his appearance, unconsciously touched the money in his pocket, and said secretly: "Wait a minute, I'll get drunk early, it's best to be the kind of drunk and unconscious." β
Si Rui saw Li Hao whispering and said, "What did you say?" β
Li Hao immediately woke up and said, "No, it's okay." β
"Wow, this must be good." At this time, Abt found a very luxuriously renovated restaurant with three floors.
"Well, this store has a standard, that's it, let's go." Jarvis Road.
Li Hao looked at the restaurant, and immediately showed an abnormal expression on his face, and thought to himself: "You guys are so ruthless, hum, let's see how drunk I will be." β
Li Hao followed them to the luxurious restaurant.
"What? What if you don't have a private room? β
After entering the restaurant. The waiter told them that there were no private rooms, only the hall and tables. But when I looked at the people in this hall, they were very quiet when they were eating. If you eat here, it will inevitably be rude.
"Is there really none?" Jarvis asked confirmatively.
The waiter still answered enthusiastically no.
"Give them the private room on the third floor." At this time, a woman's voice came from the restaurant. And they looked in, and saw that the man who spoke was Adam.
When the waiter saw her, he trotted over and said, "Hello, Miss." β
Everyone looked at Aidan who had suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday and were surprised. Thereinto. Li Hao was most surprised, he thought that Aidan had gone back to her Stephen's house. I didn't expect her to be here.
Aidan walked over and saw their surprised expressions, knowing why they were surprised. Explained: "This restaurant is the property of the Stephen family. β
"Oh." The crowd understood.
Then Aidan said to the waiter, "Take them up." β
"Yes." The waiter immediately came over and said, "Please come up with me." β
"Then thank you, Miss." Jarvis thanked first.
In the end, Li Hao walked up to Aidan and said with a smile: "Miss, since this restaurant is opened by your family, can you wait for the time to pay less, okay?" β
Aidan took a look at it and said indifferently, "You have a treat?" β
Li Hao immediately nodded and looked at her with a begging gaze. Signal: Miss, please, watch me do the cow and horse for your Stephen's sake. Just less! β¦
Aidan's face did not change, he turned around and said to the waiter just now: "Their meal money, all plus two layers." β
"Ah......" Li Hao's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he hurriedly said, "Miss......"
Aidan didn't respond to Li Hao's pleading, turned around and walked towards the hotel.
"Haha. Li Hao, are you at any time and where? Offended our eldest lady beauty? Abt smiled deeply with his two dimples.
"Hey, it's better not to come back, and get lost in the mountains." Li Hao sighed.
"Haha, Li Hao, don't be angry, let's go, drink." Yalvis gloated and pushed Li Hao upstairs.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Cheers." On the third floor, in the private room where Li Hao was, there was a lively sound of clinking glasses.
"This wine is really good, and it is refreshing to drink." Li Hao yelled with a wine glass.
At this time, Jarvis came over and said, "Li Hao, let's have a drink." β
"A cup? No, at least three drinks. Li Hao had already started his shameless plan, he laid out six glasses and poured them full of wine.
How did Jarvis know that he would play tricks, as soon as he saw that he was full, he said proudly: "Who is afraid of you, come, I will let you see what a thousand cups are not drunk." β
Li Hao smiled: "No, no, no, I'll let you see what it is today to be drunk without ten thousand cups." β
"Wait a minute, I'm coming, give me three cups, and I'll show you what a hundred million cups are not drunk." Mike watched the two of them compare wine, and suddenly became interested.
"Okay, good, good" Li Hao shouted three times in a row, thinking, come on, come on, I'll be drunk after a while, you guys will bleed.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Things were developing in line with Li Hao's thoughts, and after he and Si Rui had a glass of wine, he began to faint, and then he lay on the edge of the table, pretending to be asleep.
The drinking party did not end because of Li Hao's withdrawal, and the rest continued.
After seeing Li Hao fall, Yalvis smiled and said, "If you don't get drunk after 10,000 cups, I see that you are almost drunk after 10 cups." β
An hour later, when everyone was full of food and drink, the waiter walked in and said, "Excuse me, who pays?" At this time, everyone looked at Li Hao, who was already crawling on the table.
Jarvis reacted the fastest, and said, "I'll go and make it easier." I thought to myself: "The money for this meal is almost ten gold coins, and I will only have five gold coins a month, and if I don't leave, I won't be able to leave." β
The rest of the men, seeing Jarvis go out, followed him.
"I'll go too."
"I'll go out and look at the stars."
"I'm going to visit the restaurant."
β¦β¦
The last to leave was Abt, who was about to speak when he was stopped by the waiter. Abt knew that it would be difficult for him to leave, so he looked back at Li Hao and said, "He pays, and when he wakes up, it's fine." β
After saying that, the waiter was distracted, slipped away, and went out. Wait for the waiter to turn around. He didn't know where he was going.
The waiter smiled bitterly: "Hey, a group of people who eat overlord meals, fortunately, there is still one person who is drunk." β
Li Hao on the edge of the table is crying! He kept pretending to be asleep. was just waiting for them to pay, but unexpectedly, they were even more ruthless than themselves, and they all ran away. It's not going to be easy.
Outside the restaurant, "Yalvis, you say, it's okay for us to leave Li Hao there alone, right?" Sri asked worriedly.
Yalvis dug his head. Unsure: "This restaurant belongs to Stephen's family, and I think Aidan is a student of an academy." You won't be embarrassed by Li Hao, right? β
Sri was asking again, "Then what will they do to him?" β
Mike, sitting next to him, burped and said dizzily, "Big deal." Sell him to a brothel to be a male pet. β
"Ah......h β¦
Inside the restaurant.
"Miss, just this person, has been asleep and doesn't pay." The waiter informed Aidan of this, and because the waiter knew that Aidan knew him, he informed Aidan and asked what to do, and Aidan followed.
Aidan thought for a moment and said, "Bring him to the room next to me." Prepare me another bucket of hot water. β
After Aidan finished speaking, the waiter dared to say no and immediately started. Carry Li Hao to the room designated by Aidan.
β»β»β»
At the back of the restaurant are the staff accommodations, and there are several luxurious rooms for some people of high status in the family.
Li Hao was carried into a luxurious room by several waiters.
"When you put down the water, you can go out."
After hearing this, the waiter was puzzled. But he didn't say anything, and left very honestly.
Li Hao who was carried on the bed. Still pretending to be asleep, he squinted his right eye and looked into the room, where he saw that Aidan was walking towards him with a bucket of water.
"What does she carry water for? You can't throw it on me, right? Li Hao wondered in his heart.
Here, Aidan carried a bucket of hot water, slowly walked to Li Hao's bedside, and found a bench to sit down. Then she took out a handkerchief from behind.
At this time, Aidan did something that even Li Hao couldn't think of to kill, that is, Aidan was wiping his face with hot water.
Li Hao now has a very wonderful feeling in his heart, which makes his heart beat non-stop, and his emotions are also entangled with each other.
After Aidan finished wiping his face, he covered Li Hao with the quilt, and then slowly walked out of the room.
After Aidan walked out, Li Hao immediately sat up and looked at the door that had been closed. "Why did she do this?" β
Li Hao's EQ is not low, judging from Aidan's every move just now, he already has a bottom in his heart, but he is not sure.
Late at night, Li Hao never fell asleep, he kept thinking about Aidan, from when she met him, to following him to the border, to wiping his face. "Is she really interested in me?" Li Hao asked himself.
The more Li Hao thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, so he simply stopped sleeping, he got out of bed, walked out of the room, and came to a pavilion outside.
"This is her room!" Li Hao looked at the room next to him, thinking about Aidandao in his heart.
Just then, the room opened, and Aidan stepped out. Li Hao was startled when he saw her walk out. After Aidan came out, he was stunned when he saw Li Hao standing under the pavilion.
A cold wind blew, and Aidan stood in the doorway, and his body immediately began to tremble when the wind blew.
After Li Hao saw it, his heart was very distressed, and he hurriedly said: "It's cold, you go back quickly." β
However, when Aidan heard this, he still stood still.
Li Hao was anxious, walked out of the pavilion, and said again: "Come in." β
Now, Aidan listened, and she walked back to her room and gently closed the door.
Seeing her close the door, Li Hao sighed and quietly walked back to his room.
β»β»β»
In the morning, a flock of birds flies by. Li Hao got up early, and he was ready to go back to the camp early in the morning. When he opened the door, he found Aidan standing under the pavilion where he had stood the previous night.
"Miss, morning." Li Hao greeted her from afar.
When Aidan heard his voice, he looked at him and said, "It's not early, if you don't get up again, the convoy may be about to leave." β
"Huh." Li Hao laughed a few times and said, "What the eldest lady said is true." β
Aidan then said, "I'm not going to the border with you. β
When she spoke, there was that helplessness and confusion in her eyes. The tone is also very low. The two hands pulled at each other.
"Why?" If Li Hao had heard this a few days ago, he would have jumped up with joy. But now, there is a strong sense of loss in my heart. β¦
Aidan didn't answer him, just said, "Remember to come back early." After that, he left the pavilion and wanted to walk outside the restaurant.
After Li Hao left the restaurant, he quickly rushed to the camp of the transport team. His luck was also good, when he first came back. The convoy was ready to go.
"Li Hao, how was last night? Is it comfortable to sleep in? Mike found out that Li Hao was back. He stepped forward and asked.
As soon as Li Hao saw him, he kicked him with his butt and said, "You boys, you are too brothers." And they left me there alone, you know, I slept in the woodroom last night. β
Mike stepped back and said, "You can't blame me, this is the head led by Jarvis, and if you want to fight, you will hit him first." Mike turned his face to Jarvis, who was not far away.
When the rest of the people heard this, they also said loudly: "Yes, yes, it is Yalvis who takes the lead." He is the most unrighteous, Li Hao, we will help you teach him a lesson. β
Then. Yalvis said loudly: "Wow, you heartless people, blame everything on me, why didn't you say that when you ran last night?" You guys hurt my heart so much. β
Yalvis crouched on the ground, pretending to be bullied. But. Li Hao won't be deceived by him, and walked over. Holding a thin wooden stick, aimed at his, a bucket.
"Ah......h
Locke Town, the northernmost town of the Mick Empire, is also an important border to other countries in the north of the Mick Empire. There are thousands of mountains in front of Locketown, which are often infested with powerful thieves.
The final destination of Li Hao's transport team is Rock Town.
"Locke Town is ahead, and we're about to complete our mission." Captain Darcy called out to the players behind him in a very relaxed tone this time.
"It's finally going to be done, and the suffering of these ten days has finally come to an end." Mike said as he lay down in the car, stretched his hands to the sides.
Li Hao didn't think so much about him, looked at the nearby Rock Town, and thought, "This is not the end, this is just a beginning for me." β
At this time, in the direction of Locketown, a very neat group of cavalry rode quickly towards this side. When Darcy saw the cavalry, he laughed and said, "Haha, that old immortal is not dead yet!" There was no excitement in his tone.
The cavalry was getting closer, and their faces could already be seen. "Lao Ka, it's really you, I thought you were already hanging, but I didn't expect you to be alive." Among the cavalry, a middle-aged man riding a demonic beast like a leopard scolded with a smile when he saw Darcy.
Li Hao carefully observed the middle-aged man, and saw that the middle-aged man was burly, his tone was iron and soft, and there were many calluses on his face. Looking at his mount again, he saw that there were three deep scars on the back of the demonic beast, and the location of the scars had not grown hair so far. It can be seen that this middle-aged man is often on the verge of death.
"Vera, you speak so ugly, we haven't seen each other for several years, I didn't expect you to curse me to death as soon as we met." Darcy laughed back.
"Lao Ka, you can't blame me for this, I think after you left, there was no news at all, everyone thought you were hanging on that battlefield."
"Then I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm living better now than before."
"Hahaha......" both laughed at the same time.
After Darcy finished laughing, he said, "What about Lao Yuan?" Why didn't you come to pick me up. β
After Vera heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she became very gloomy and terrifying. Li Hao felt that the air had become cold from a distance of a few meters.
Seeing that his face changed suddenly, Darcy felt that things were not good, so he immediately returned the topic and said, "Old Jiang, you still lead the way first, let's hand over the goods first, and in the evening, we will have a good chat." β
"Okay." When Vera agreed, she led the convoy to the barracks in Locke.
The barracks in Locketown is located in a low-lying area north of Locketown, covering a large area and is said to hold an army of 300,000.
"Lao Ka, we've arrived, how is it the same as before, right?"
"Well, it hasn't changed at all, when I see him, I think of the days when we were young." Darcy reminisced about the past, an obsessive expression on his face.
After entering the barracks, there was no matter for Li Hao and them, and Darcy took the goods to meet the supreme commander of the barracks. Li Hao was arranged in a tent on the south side of the barracks.
"Li Hao, do you think Darcy will repay us for our credit?" Once inside the tent, YΓ‘rvis asked, a little nervously. He was very flustered, and he took the credit for this time very seriously.
Li Hao said: "This is something we can't control, but I believe in the captain's character, he said that he would ask for credit for us, then he will." β
After glancing at Li Hao, YΓ‘rvis stood at the mouth of the tent and looked into the distance, how much he wanted to see Darcy coming over now, because that would mean that he had already taken credit for them. (To be continued)
