After Zou Heng returned to the team with a few knights, Li Sheng looked at the people who came back and knew that there was nothing to gain, so he did not ask, but King Ni asked.

"Mage, have you found the assassin?"

Hearing this, Zou Heng shook his head slightly and said: "The people had already run away when we arrived. Judging from the traces left behind, they are already far away and it is impossible to catch up, so we can only disappoint His Highness."

!”

"Master, what did you say? If it weren't for you and General Li today, I would have been in danger again. It would be fine if the assassin was not caught. If we meet him again next time, I believe he will not be able to escape your methods, Master."

!" King Ren quickly said to Zou Heng in a kind manner.

"Your Highness has too high expectations for me. The opponent should be a warlock in the alchemist realm, and I am only in the magic training realm. If we meet next time, I am afraid that I will be in danger." Faced with King Ni's enthusiasm, Zou Heng said,

I can only tell the truth.

Speaking of true strength, he was indeed no match for the warlock, and since he couldn't use spiritual means, there was no need for him to pretend to be powerful at this time.

Niou didn't dwell on this topic too much. He just said a few words and quickly ended the topic, started to pack up his things, and prepared to get back on the road.

The sudden attack just now destroyed the carriage Nioh was riding in. Fortunately, the people inside were not injured, but were slightly frightened, so they were able to continue on their way.

In addition, after being attacked here just now, everyone also wants to enter the Yu Kingdom as soon as possible. At least once there, there will be fewer attacks on the surface, and everyone can take a breather in a short period of time.

The remaining road was not far, even if there was no carriage, if we walked a little further, we would soon be able to get out of the wilderness, so we simply abandoned the smashed carriage and set off on the road again.

During the next section of the journey, Zou Heng remained vigilant and prepared for a second attack. If someone attacked at this time, it would be much more difficult for them to deal with it than before.

Zou Heng was always on guard, but the next section of the road was very peaceful. Until everyone walked out of the border wilderness and truly set foot on the land of the Yu Kingdom, they saw a tall checkpoint in the distance, but there was no second attack.

.

When he was still a short distance away from the checkpoint, Zou Heng had already seen the name of the checkpoint, Anyuan Pass!

For the center of Yu State, this is a remote place. If you go forward through the border wilderness, you will reach the border of Qi State.

While seeing the name of the level, Zou Heng could also see that there was already a group of people waiting at the door of the level. They were probably from Anyuan Pass to greet King Nio.

As the team continued to move forward, Zou Heng saw the group of people clearly. The leader was a general wearing armor, with a slightly older face and a beard. Behind him there seemed to be several civil servants and two

Warlocks, the rest are all soldiers.

As soon as the team approached, the armor-clad general took two steps forward, bowed respectfully, and spoke loudly at the same time.

"The last general, Hong Yuechuan, would like to welcome His Royal Highness back to the country!"

"We sincerely welcome His Royal Highness to return home!" The people behind him also saluted respectfully at the same time.

Seeing so many people saluting him in front of him, King Ni took a few steps forward. His eyes were slightly red. After so many years, he finally set foot on his homeland again and regained the feeling of his noble status.

When we arrived at Anyuan Pass, there were still people greeting us at the door, so we would naturally be safe for the time being, because General Hong from Anyuan Pass would never let the King of Ren have anything happen to him.

After spending some time at the door, everyone was welcomed into Anyuan Pass. However, when entering the city gate, Zou Heng noticed that the two warlocks in the crowd were looking at him and smiling, but there was nothing in their smiles.

Malice, but there is also a trace of kindness, but that trace of kindness seems a little weird.

Zou Heng was very sure that he had never seen these two sorcerers. When he was learning the art, he followed his previous master and had not seen many other sorcerers. These two were not among the people he had seen.

.

However, since these two warlocks have no ill intentions towards him, there should be no big problem. There is no need to delve into it too deeply for the time being. If there is a chance later, you can contact them and ask them face to face what is going on.

The group of people entered Anyuan Pass, and the fatigue of traveling for days suddenly came to their hearts at this moment. Their bodies seemed to have become a lot more tired, and their stomachs were also a little empty.

It's not that I'm very hungry, it's just that I finally felt at ease and wanted to eat something delicious to treat myself.

Anyuanguan is also very considerate here. It has already arranged the reception for everyone. It will take everyone to the resting place first, and then provide hot water for everyone to wash up and take a rest. The banquet is also being arranged.

After everyone has washed up and rested for a while, they can have a hearty meal.

Compared with other people in the team, Zou Heng's condition is actually much better. After all, he has only been with the team for about a day, and with his strong body, he is actually not that tired.

But being able to wash up and take a rest is a rare moment of relaxation, and Zou Heng certainly wouldn't refuse.

Compared to ordinary soldiers, Zou Heng's treatment as a warlock was better. He had a separate space where he could wash up, and he was also provided with a piece of clean clothes.

After washing up, Zou Heng picked up the clean clothes and took a look at them, feeling a little surprised.

"It's a good idea!" Zou Heng said to himself.

He originally did not plan to change into this clothes, because although the clothes worn by the warlock do not look luxurious, they actually have many pockets for storing things, which can allow the warlock to hide a lot of things.

But the new clothes they sent were also specially prepared for warlocks, and they also had many hidden pockets inside.

Since the clothes were suitable, Zou Heng didn't show any pretense. He just put on the new clothes and put on his shoulder bag. He felt refreshed.

Although warlocks usually have ways to clean themselves, in comparison, taking a hot bath makes people feel more comfortable and relaxed.

After staying in the room for a while, someone invited Zou Heng to the banquet. Zou Heng followed the other party to a hall. Just as King Ni and Li Sheng also arrived, King Ni was also accompanied by the princess and His Highness. Everyone happened to be there.

Go in together.

When the guests arrived, Hong Yuechuan and others, as the hosts, had of course arrived early. When they saw everyone, they gave a simple greeting, and then the guests and hosts took their seats.

After Zou Heng entered the hall, he scanned the whole place and found that there were quite a few people attending the banquet today. Almost all the people he had seen at the city gate with some status were here, a total of more than 20 people.

People, those two warlocks were also among them.

After everyone sat down, Hong Yuechuan immediately picked up his wine glass, stood up with a smile and said loudly: "Today's banquet is to welcome His Royal Highness back to the country. His Highness has been in Qi for several years. He must have suffered a lot in a foreign country.

After suffering so much, now that I have returned to the Kingdom of Yu, it can be said that all the hardships have finally come to an end. The general and others will use this glass of water and wine to welcome His Royal Highness back!"

As soon as Hong Yuechuan finished speaking, everyone on the Anyuan Pass side stood up and toasted to the king together. Zou Heng saw this and stood up quickly. Although he has never experienced such an occasion in today's world,

But based on the memory of his previous life, he still knew what to do.

After everyone drank a glass of wine together, Hong Yuechuan did not sit down, but poured himself another glass of wine, then looked at Li Sheng and spoke to him.

"General Li escorted His Royal Highness King Ren back from Qi. He worked hard all the way and went through many hardships. I would like to toast the general with this glass of wine!"

So, everyone toasted another glass of wine to Li Sheng.

Then, Hong Yuechuan still didn't sit down and looked at Zou Heng again, which made Zou Heng immediately feel that something was wrong.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes fell on him and they heard Hong Yuechuan say.

"His Royal Highness Niou is able to return safely. Although the mage joined in halfway, he also contributed a lot. Today, the mage even fought with the unruly people to protect the safety of His Highness Niou. We should also pay tribute to the mage!"

Seeing that everyone was preparing to toast him in unison, Zou Heng had no way to refuse at this time, so he could only fill up a glass for himself, and then said as lowly as possible.

"The general has given you too much praise. Now his strength is meager and his abilities are sparse. He is just a little bit more powerful. He really doesn't deserve a praise. The general's praise can only be accepted with shame!"

After finishing speaking, he shook his head to everyone and drank the wine from the glass.

After toasting three glasses of wine in a row, Hong Yuechuan finally sat down this time, and then everyone started to move their chopsticks and start talking while eating.

Zou Heng glanced at the two warlocks inadvertently, and suddenly he wanted to understand why the two were looking at him at the city gate with such weird smiles today.

I'm afraid that when he, Niou and others were attacked, the two warlocks had already detected it, and even showed them using magic in front of Hong Yuechuan, so the other party only mentioned this when they toasted to him just now.

thing.

They looked at themselves and smiled. They probably noticed the details of the burning feathers they used to invite spirits, and knew what it meant, so they smiled like that.

At the same time, Zou Heng also solved a doubt in his mind, that is, after being attacked once, they were not attacked a second time along the way. That may not necessarily be because they were lucky, but because someone had already helped them out.

Obstacles on the road.
