Chapter 14: Breaking Away from the Mountains
The mood for the torture was not very good.
Just now he thought that the little girl had really made some important discovery, there was really a powerful enemy hidden in the backyard of the dart game, and his heartstrings were tensed to the extreme.
But as a result, the little girl babbled and tossed for a long time, and the enemy she found turned out to be just a wooden table?
And it's a table that the dart game doesn't know which old ladies use to dress up.
As the commander and deputy general of the Zhennan battalion, they actually went out to carry a dresser out of someone else's yard, and walked out on the street outside.
Li Xing squinted his eyes at the young men and women in front of him, and the guards who followed them closely and did not come to carry the table empty-handed, and the wisp of anger that rose in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him.
Although the king of Guojun is a vassal king, if he really wants to be more serious, it is difficult to manage the commander of a battalion subordinate to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and as a vassal king, it is taboo for the one in the palace to meddle in the affairs of the army.
What's more, Xu Yuan is only the prince of the county, and he is far from the noble prince, and the respect is to give the emperor's relatives a face, but Xu Yuan really dares to be willing to call and drink to a large battalion commander?
He really doesn't have such a big face!
The most unpleasant thing is that even if Xu Yuan, the prince of Guojun, doesn't give him face, why are those two guards above the top, they are nothing more than slaves of the royal house, and they are not farts without their masters.
Boom!
As soon as he got out of the gate of the dart game, he threw the female red dressing table to the ground, squeezed out a smile and confessed to Xu Yuan and left.
The soldiers who were waiting outside the door came and followed behind with the dressing table.
Luoshang didn't notice all this, she kept her head down and frowned, and the ten fingers of her hands kept moving, changing the direction and position.
Half an hour later, with sweat on her forehead, she stood in front of the door of a house.
If Gu Juan was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that this was the mansion where the old woman was.
The sun was high and the sun was shining outside, but as soon as I walked into the yard, it looked a little gloomy.
In particular, the stout locust trees in the courtyard in front of the house almost completely block the sunlight and artificially create a dark area.
Squeak!
Luo Shang opened the door, squinted her eyes and covered her mouth and nose, only to feel that there was an indescribable smell spreading in the air, like the smell of throwing a dead body soaked in fishy sewage into the fire for barbecue.
Vomit!
Shizi Xu Yuan almost vomited directly.
Luoshang's face was as calm as water, he opened his mouth to bite his index finger, and then gently wiped the blood on his eyes.
Faintly, she seemed to see shadows, in various poses, fluttering and spinning around the room.
And in the center of these shadows is a huge monster that is hideous and terrifying, wielding claws shaped like large axes, tearing the shadows apart, chewing, and swallowing.
This is......
Luo Shang took a deep breath and began to make dazzling movements with her hands, and the black eyeballs of her eyes began to turn bright red little by little.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
In sight, the hideous and terrifying figure seemed to have spotted her prying eyes, roaring and swinging a huge axe-like claw at her!
Ding dong!
The crescent moon ring in the sleeve suddenly emitted a crisp resonant sound, enveloping everything around it.
Burst!
Without warning, Luo Shang spurted out a small mouthful of blood, staining the white clothes on his chest.
"Miss Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yuan was shocked and stepped forward to support her crumbling body.
The two guards drew their swords and looked around with a calm face, but they could not find any trace of the enemy's presence.
Luosheng's little face was snow-white, gritted his teeth and left here, and then pulled Xu Yuan out of the house.
Innhouse dining room.
Gu Juan had a big bone in one hand and a soju bowl in the other, and he ate happily.
He swallowed a large mouthful of stew, drank a large bowl of soju, and let out a hearty sigh.
From time to time, an old man came to drink with him, and he staggered away after drinking a few bowls.
Eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl is not a beautiful word.
Suddenly, Gu Juan stopped all his movements and was stunned for a long time before he took another bite of the meat and sent it down with wine.
In the following moment, he became noticeably distracted, and instead of sitting in one place, he began to wander around with his wine bowl in hand.
Boom!
Gu Juan returned to the room, closed the door tightly, and as soon as his mind moved, the patrol axe appeared in his hand.
He slowly rubbed the cold axe, a look of confusion on his face.
Just as he was eating, the Jungler Knife suddenly burst out with a hot stream without warning, and then fell silent, making him think that the trail of the wild monster had appeared again within a certain distance.
As a result, he turned around again and again, but failed to find any trace of the existence of the wild monster, and finally had to return in vain.
Due to Luo Shang's sudden injury, the trip scheduled to leave on the third day had to be postponed to be determined.
In this way, except for Gu Ju, who acted quite indifferent, and should eat and sleep every day, the relationship between the other organizers who had to participate in the hunting mission suddenly became delicate.
Xu Yuan was angry that Li Xing and Tengyuan did not follow them to the mansion, which caused Luo Sheng to be injured, and since then he has not given the two of them any good looks, and there are many complaints between his words.
The anger in Li Xing's heart also accumulated, firstly because of Xu Yuan's attitude, and secondly, because the official document approving the transfer of troops had already come down, and he would definitely have to make an explanation after a long delay.
As time passed, the grudge between the two grew deeper and deeper, to the point that in the end it almost reached the point of tearing their faces.
During this period, Luo Sheng had the idea of alleviating the conflict between the two, but it was a pity that she put all her thoughts on the dart game and the house at the beginning, and when she found out that something was wrong later, it was too late to intervene and lost the desired effect.
Five days later, Luoshang finally finished recuperating, and more than 100 people set off from Nanli County and began to march towards the destination.
And this time, the torture who was originally planned to go with him did not show up at all, but just randomly found a reason that was not a reason to return to the camp, and asked the deputy general Tengyuan to lead the team.
Along the way, Xu Yuan's anger did not dissipate, and all the soldiers who approached him would be beaten and scolded at will if there was no accident, and Vice General Teng had nothing to do about it, so he just wanted to hurry up and complete the task and send this guy who was born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth since he was a child.
Gu Juan also ate a few times, and felt inexplicable, he immediately accelerated forward, mixed with the advance cavalry, and came out of sight and out of mind.
..............................
"This is the mountain forest where the big white hairy insect hides?"
Luo Shang got out of a carriage and looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, squinting her eyes to take a closer look.
Gu Juan nodded, "At our current speed, it will take less than half a day to arrive at most." ”
"I didn't expect that there would be people in such a remote and desolate place. Tengyuan raised his horsewhip and pointed to the mountains that were almost connected to each other in the sky, and the shadows of buildings in the distance.
Gu Juan narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment, and said to Teng Yuan, "Lord Teng, that should be the village I encountered after coming out of the mountains and forests, it seems that we are not on the wrong path." ”
